Effects of CS, SCS and SCS + MAP on drip loss of swimming crab
| Parameter | Storage conditions | Storage time (days) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 5/6* | 9 | 12 | 15 | ||
| Drip loss (%) | CS | 2.7 ± 0.2Aab | 5.0 ± 0.6B | – | – | – |
| SCS | 2.3 ± 0.4Aa | 3.3 ± 1.5A | 5.1 ± 0.6BCa | 5.8 ± 0.6Ca | 7.4 ± 1.0D | |
| SCS + MAP | 3.0 ± 0.4Ab | 4.7 ± 0.7B | 6.8 ± 0.9Cb | 8.1 ± 0.5Db | 8.5 ± 0.9E | |
* 5 days is for CS, and 6 days for SCS and SCS + MAP treatment. Mean values with different letters within columns for each parameter (a, b, c) or within rows (A, B, C) differ significantly at P < 0.05.
