Abstract: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of processing techniques of shrimps
by microbiological quality assessment. The abundance of total aerobic bacteria, total coliform, feacal coliform,
Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella were determined in Raw Block Frozen shrimp, Cooked IQF (Individual Quick
Freezer) shrimp and Raw IQF shrimp. In each process, five different samples were examined with three replicates.
The density of total aerobic bacteria detected in all the samples except sample 3 of Raw Block Frozen shrimp
was significantly higher than that of others, while the density of the same bacteria detected in all the samples
of Cooked IQF shrimp was significantly lower than that of others (p< 0.05). While total coliform observed in
Cooked IQF shrimp was
