It was also observed that shrimp treated with phosphate blend
(immersion in solution 5 g/100 mL for 120 min), frozen and stored
for 15 days (at 30 C), lost, after thawing and cooking, 8.24% of
weight, practically half than reported (Lampila, 1992, 1993). In spite
of treatments being different (percentage of phosphate and blend
type), the observed tendency was the same, i.e., there was a larger
retention of water.
