Notes:
The effects of frozen storage and packaging methods on the oxidation of fatty acids and rancidity development in fresh-water prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii were studied. The lipids of these fresh prawns contained 23% saturated, 46% monounsaturated, and 31% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acids, especially the unsaturated ones decreased during frozen storage for 6 months at -18°C, regardless of the packaging procedure employed. No objectionable rancid flavor was detected in these prawns during the 6-month frozen storage study.
