Sensory evaluation
The results of sensory evaluation of the extracts
from L. vannamei cultured in sea water and low
salinity water are shown in Table 6. The extract
from sea water exhibited higher umami and sweetness
and better overall flavor compared to samples
cultured in low salinity water than that of low
salinity water (P < 0.05). Aftertaste did not differ
between the two shrimp extracts (P > 0.05). The
earthy-musty taste of extracts from shrimp cultured
in sea water was significantly lower than that
of samples from low salinity water (P < 0.05).
