Not AvailableLitopenaeus vannamei is the most commonly cultured shrimp in Southeast Asia and Latin America, standing for over 90 per cent of total shrimp production. In India, the total production of vannamei shrimp reached 4,06,018 MT in 2015-16 recording an increase of 52,605 MT from the previous year and contributing about 81 per cent of the total aquaculture production. Shimps are the major export items in the form of raw frozen, cooked frozen, IQF etc. This study is an attempt to reconnoiter the potentials of better utilization of this species by development of battered and breaded products. Quality evaluation and shelf life studies were conducted for the products developed from farm caught L. vannamei under chilled storage. Shrimps were cleaned in two styles , and it is battered, breaded, flash fried, packed and stored . The products were evaluated for the physical, chemical, sensory and microbiological quality attributes. There was a significant decrease in the sensory scores during storage, and levels of other quality indices increased significantly for both the products. The total aerobic plate count did not exceeded 5 log 10 CFU per gram during the 15th day of the study. Coated butterfly and coated P.D. shrimps had a good shelf life of 15 days in chilled storage.Not Availabl

Not AvailableFresh head waste of sardine, threadfin bream, anchovy and tilapia was converted into fish meal after cooking and pressing. Whole sardine was used as control sample. Quality analysis of the prepared meal revealed that the protein content was lower for sardine waste (43.1 percentage) and higher for tilapia (62.3 percentage) The fish meal prepared was used as the protein source for preparing feed along with other ingredients. Isoprotenous feed prepared was administered in Wistar strain male albino rats for a period of 31 days and Feed Intake (FI) Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) was estimated. Feed intake was more in threadfin bream waste feed and anchovy waste feed (135.1 grams per 31 days) which was significantly different from other feeds. The acceptance of feed developed from the waste of fish shows more or less similar to control feed indicating that the waste can be utilized for the development of feed for different animals thereby resolving the problem of environmental pollution.Not Availabl
