Pre-cooked Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is an important shrimp product. However melanosis
especially, in. The cephalothorax including carapace and, internal organs is more likely caused by
the remaining polyphenol oxidase (PPO). After pre-cooking. Thus PPO from, carapace and proteases from
.Hepatopancreas of Pacific white shrimp were characterised and the remaining activities of both enzymes
were monitored in. Pre-cooked shrimp during storage at 4 C. Based on activity staining using L-b - (3 4
dihydroxylphenyl), alanine as, a substrate. PPO consisted of two isoforms with apparent molecular weight
of 210 and 220 kDa.No difference in activity band was observed when analysed under reducing and nonreducing
condition. Proteases from hepatopancreas. Were able to activate PPO to some degree. For the
in, vitro study both enzymes were quite stable when heated at temperature. Up to 70 C but the loss in
activities increased with increasing heating time (0 - 120 s). When Pacific white shrimp were. Pre-cooked
.To obtain different core temperatures (50 - 90 C), different PPO and protease activities were retained.
Higher core temperatures. Were associated with lower PPO and, protease activities but higher cooking
loss. When the shrimp were pre-cooked at 80, C. The residual PPO and protease activities were 3.9%
and 5.4% respectively and, cooking yield of 95.6% was obtained.The resulting pre-cooked shrimp possessed
lower melanosis score during 7 days of storage at 4 C. Thus pre-cooking of,, Shrimp to obtain a
core temperature of 80, C with a holding time of, 30 s could prevent the severe cooking loss and lower
melanosis. During subsequent storage.
