Popis: | An inexpensive force-deformation device was developed as part of an automated quality evaluation system for repeat-able and objective measurement of shrimp texture. Effects of shrimp size, crosshead speed, sample temperature and deformation levels on the elasticity of shrimp stored on ice for 14 days were studied. The elasticity measurement from the automated device showed no significant difference when compared with that of the Instron. Elasticity of white shrimp during the first 6 days was constant, but after day 9 it decreased, the day at which ammonia levels in the shrimp started to increase rapidly. Texture Profile Analysis parameters were also measured, but failed to provide clear indications of deterioration. |
