Green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract (GTE) is rich in polyphenolic compounds, especially catechins that are potent antioxidants. The antioxidant property of GTE may make it ideal for use as a glazing solution for suppressing lipid oxidation in shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus) during frozen storage. In this study, GTE was evaluated as a glazing material for shrimp frozen by air-blast (BF) and cryogenic freezing (CF). Two percent, three percent and/or five percent green tea extract solutions (2GTE,...

Crawfish and shrimp byproducts are an excellent source of astaxanthin. The antioxidant-rich natural astaxanthin dispersed in alpha linolenic acid-rich flaxseed oil (FO) may provide healthier functional food options for US consumers. The goals of this study were to extract astaxanthin from crawfish and shrimp byproducts and to develop astaxanthin dry powders using microencapsulation technology. Astaxanthin extracted with FO from crawfish (FOCA) and shrimp (FOSA) byproducts were stable at 30 and 4...

As a result of increased cultured activities, the world shrimp market has been expanded significantly during the past two decades. Because the growth in world supply has exceeded that of growth in demand, the deflated world shrimp price has fallen significantly since the mid-1980s. While a large producer of shrimp (primarily in the Gulf of Mexico), the United States is also the worlds largest importer. In general, the Gulf of Mexico dockside price is determined by the world export price and, as ...

Chilling (2-4°C) (10 min) in a solution containing 10% condensed phosphate, 5% potassium sorbate, and 0.9% citric acid (pH 6.7) stabilized round shrimp to microbial spoilage. This treatment procedure allowed refrigerated storage of round shrimp eliminating the need for ice and the accompanying deteriorative effects of water absorption and protein solids loss mediated by melting ice. The antimicrobial action of the treatment extended the time for the initiation of exponential growth by three days...

Proteases present in shrimp processing waste are factors in the technology of shrimp. The distribution of proteolytic activity in shrimp parts was determined using hemoglobin and casein as substrates. The effects of various parameters upon activity of proteases in the inedible portion were determined using muscle protein as a substrate. Low pH active proteases from the hepatopancreas were characterized using column chromatography and inhibitors. A crude homogenate of shrimp processing waste show...

The effect of the application of condensed phosphate (Brifisol D-510, commercial mixture of sodium tripolylphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate) to round shrimp on the yield and frozen shelf-life characteristics of cooked meat was investigated. Condensed phosphate retarded protein solubilization and increased the water-holding capacity of meat through steam precooking markedly improving yield. The effectiveness of condensed phosphate application was enhanced by the post-catch degradative chang...

<p>The molecular mechanisms of the immune system in shrimp, <i>Penaeus monodon</i>, are completely unknown, despite its economic importance as an aquaculture species, especially in Asia and Latin America. The genes and their gene products involved in the prophenoloxidase activating system, which is considered to be a non-self recognition and defence system in many invertebrates, have been isolated and characterised in shrimp. These include a zymogen of this cascade, prophenoloxidase (proPO); a c...

This study utilized two diets (25 and 35% crude protein) fed at 10 different rates to produce differences in shrimp specific growth rate which were regressed against daily digestible protein (DP) and digestible energy (DE) intake to estimate daily DP and DE requirements for sub-adult L. vannamei. Apparent DP and DE requirement for maximum growth decreased throughout the 7-week trial as shrimp size increased. Mean apparent daily DP requirement for 7.69 to 13.08-g L. vannamei fed the 25% protein d...

In this study, I examined the influence of hydrological seasonality on spatiotemporal variation of algal biomass and shrimp abundance on sandbanks of the Cinaruco River in southwestern Venezuela. Seasonal variations of abiotic and biotic variables in the Cinaruco were driven by the hydrological regime. During the highwater periods, river sites in the main channel and lagoon sites were similar in water physicochemical variables and algal biomass. In contrast, physicochemical variables and algal b...

Proximate analysis of the commercial shrimp meat waste samples indicated the presence of 94.6% protein and 4.2% fat on a dry basis. The HPLC analysis revealed the presence of 17 amino acids (proline most abundant) and 7 sugars (ribose being the most abundant). The changes in the concentration of the amino acids and sugars after heat treatment, are explained based on their interaction through the Maillard reaction and by the thermal hydrolysis of proteins and polysaccharides present in tissue. Ca...

The Mekong Delta, which is considered as the main 'rice bowl and fish basket', is one of seven distinct agro-ecological regions of Vietnam and plays an important role in the economy of the country. Several rice-based farming systems have been developed in various areas of the MD. Rice-shrimp integrated system in brackish areas is a special farming system developed in this delta. It is a profitable system and seems to be environmentally safe on the one hand without the use of pesticides. On the o...

Nationwide, seafood consumers are paying close attention to their seafood options and demanding transparency on point of origin. Recent studies have shown that shrimp can reflect the mineral content of the waters from which they are harvested. Mineral analysis was conducted using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry on the tail muscle from each coastal group and imported farmed raised samples. Analysis of variance was used to detect differences among catch locations and seaso...

<p> Amphidromous species migrate between fresh water and the sea for larval development. Many caridean shrimps, especially <i>Macrobrachium </i> spp., are amphidromous, and some populations are found far-upstream within continental river systems. This project tested the hypothesis that populations of <i>Macrobrachium ohione</i> from the Atchafalaya and Mississippi Rivers are amphidromous. </p><p> In the laboratory, I tested the hypothesis that upstream populations of <i>M. ohione</i> have fre...

This thesis examines the historical dynamics of pink shrimp populations off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Fisheries for pink shrimp in this area started in 1973 and stocks collapsed on two occasions. Shrimp populations continued to decline in the absence of fishing. Using a single species stock assessment model, I reconstructed time series on shrimp abundance, recruitment, and natural mortality in two statistical areas to investigate environmental and trophic interactions that would explai...

Black spot development or "melanosis" is a common defect in fresh shrimp which results in product being devalued and rejected by consumers. Currently, sulfiting agents are used to control melanosis in shrimp. However, with increasing regulatory and consumer concerns about the safety of sulphites as a method of melanosis control, the shrimp processing industry is actively seeking alternative methods to control melanosis on, and extend the shelf life of, fresh shrimp. One method which has the pote...

The ever increasing demand for the shrimp products in the 1980s and 1990s caused the volume of shrimp imports to increase. The import of shrimp has had an upward trend, from 847 million pounds in 1997 to 1,636 million pounds in 2010.The imports price has declined since 1997. Along with the decrease in imports price, the U.S. domestic shrimp price has also declined. However, the annual production of shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico has, in the long-run, remained relatively stable. These facts indic...

A series of studies were conducted as part of my dissertation research on certain diseases of farmed penaeid shrimp and on strategies that might be applied to manage these diseases. These studies focused on the development and application of management for four shrimp diseases (TSV, YHV, WSSV and NHP) in the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei through different strategies. The studies focused on efforts to identify a new strain of Taura syndrome virus (TSV), and the prevention or mitigation of infecti...

Shrimp is the most consumed seafood item in the United States (U.S.). Currently 90% of the shrimp consumed in the U.S. is imported from a few Asian countries. When imported shrimp arrives to its destination, it probably contains a load of microbial contamination due to the post-harvest processing steps such as transportation, handling, preparation, beheading, peeling, deveining, packaging and storage that could add further bacterial contamination. Most of the U.S. import refusals belong to seafo...

<p> The white shrimp <i>Litopenaeus setiferus</i> is harvested throughout its range in the western Atlantic Ocean and is particularly important in supporting a commercial fishery in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM) concentrated in Texas and Louisiana. Mortality rates of young (juvenile) white shrimp in estuarine nursery areas may have a large effect on the adult population. Understanding the temporal and spatial variation in mortality rates and other population parameters (i.e., density, growt...

The shrimp processing industry produces a huge amount of waste which can potentially be converted into value-added products by enzymatic hydrolysis. Nevertheless, bitterness in hydrolysates is a common problem that needs to be addressed. In this study, 16 protein hydrolysate samples were produced from commercial shrimp (Pandalopsis dispar) processing wastes using Taguchi's L16 (45 ) experimental design. Four factors, namely water-to-substrate ratio, percent enzyme, time of hydrolysis and type of...

Research was conducted to develop gene probes to Baculovirus penaei (BP) from a cloning of BP genomic DNA and to test the applications of the gene probes. Five non-homologous probes representing >20% of the total BP genome were tested in dot blot and in situ hybridization assays. Four different dot blot hybridization assay systems were evaluated. Results obtained from radioactive labeling of the probes indicate that the probes are specific for BP DNA, while the results obtained from the three no...
