“…Fresh prawns are relatively firm, but become mushy during refrigerated storage. Several studies show that the texture of prawn changes during storage, as measured by both sensory and instrumental techniques (Angel, Weinberg, Juven, & Lindner, 1985;Lindner, Angel, Weinberg, & Granit, 1988;Srinivasan, Xiong, Blanchard, & Tidwell, 1997;Srinivasan, Xiong, Blanchard, & Tidwell, 1998). Typically, refrigerated prawn has a shelf life of 3-4 d (Nip, Lan, & Moy, 1985), although some suggest that the shelf life could be as long as 1 week (Angel et al, 1985;Lindner et al, 1988).…”
