Migration of Water in Litopenaeus Vannamei Muscle Following Freezing and Thawing.

Water is one of the major components in most organs and is an important factor that influences the shrimp muscle quality. Water migration patterns and subsequent effects on the shrimp muscle under different freezing and thawing conditions were examined using low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. This research provides a theoretical foundation for shrimp processing plants to improve the freezing and thawing process to obtain optimal quality and flavor of shrimp products.
