Different recipes were used to study the effect of preserving parameters (organic acids, pH and NaCl) on
growth of microorganisms and shelf life at 7–8 °C or 12 °C. Particularly, brines with different concentrations
of (i) benzoic, citric and sorbic acids or (ii) acetic, citric and lactic acids were studied. Furthermore, the effect
of adding diacetate to brined shrimp was evaluated.
