Abstract

Shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros) is low in fat essential minerals and vitamins. It contains high moisture (77.15 0.73) so it needs to be preserved by an energy-efficient process. Therefore fortification protocols for the enrichment of shrimp were developed employing two fishes namely Catla catla (CA) and Chela cachius (CS). Pre-sterilised shrimps were blended with sterilised CA and CS at 2:1:1 weight ratio. Pre-blended shrimps were converted to fortified shrimp (FS) by adding corn rice flour (FS-1) and additionally mixing with dried-ginger (FS-2) and subsequently dehydrated by vacuum-drying (VD) using silver/copper plated multidimensional heater to produce vacuum-dried FS. The VD kinetics indicated faster dehydration of FS-1 as compared to FS-2 in both heaters. Higher effective diffusivity (7.464 10m/s) and lower activation energy (28.42 kJ/mol) were computed for FS-1 in silver plated heater. The vacuum dried FS-1 exhibited superior quality through remarkable augmentation in protein (188) -3 fatty acids (20) carbohydrate (35) ash (151) and other essential elements with acceptable water activity rehydration ratio TVBN and histamine content.
