resulting in shrinkage in shrimp muscles (Erdogdu et al., 2004) and affected texture and other physical properties of shrimp such as moisture content, density and volume.This yield loss during cooking indicates significant economic consequence. NaCl could increase WHC of meat, improve texture of cooked products after freeze-thawing (Hamm, 1972; Offer & Knight, 1988). Chloride ions were more strongly bound to the protein than the sodium ion, resulting to an increase of net negative charge of protein (Hamm, 1972). The electrostatic repulsion and increased interfilamental spaces allowed more water molecules to be penetrated and adsorbed into. Synergistic effect of the NaCl in combination with salts like phosphate or bicarbonate in seafood processing were demonstrated in many studies
