The puffing ratio for deep-frying increased to a maximum of
745% with 0.1% calcium carbonate fortification. The puffing
ratio for microwave puffing increased to amaximum of 1063%
with 0.1% calcium acetate fortification. Calcium acetate
induced a higher puffing ratio for microwave-puffed shrimp
chips compared with all other forms of calcium. In general,
the puffing ratio for microwave-puffed shrimp chips fortified
with 0.1% calcium salts was higher than that for control.
