STRUCTURAL-MECHANICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS OF PALAEMON ADSPERSUS PRAWN

Abstract

Structural-mechanical parameters (density, strength limit, adhesion, modulus of resilience) of Azov-Black Sea Palaemon adspersus prawn meat were investigated, as analytical search points to the lack of data. The structural and mechanical parameters of the Palaemon adspersus prawn were determined by the penetration method on the MIG-1.3 measuring device. The purpose of the research was to establish the dependences of structural-mechanical and sensory parameters of quality of Palaemon adspersus prawn for quality forecasting. During the research was found that prawn of smaller sizes has higher structural and mechanical characteristics. It was determined that Palaemon adspersus prawn of the Azov-Black Sea area is a raw material for further detailed research, in particular: determination of correlation dependence of structural and mechanical quality indicators of Palaemon adspersus prawn for forecasting the quality of the raw material under study during product movement and substantiation of technological functionality for food production.
