However, shrimp faces many challenges during processing and storage. Traditional shrimp raw material storage adopts the way of headless and shelled shrimp freezing or frozen shrimp meat, which has problems such as high water loss after thawing, easy oxidation and discoloration during storage, serious dry consumption and deterioration of taste, which seriously affects the quality of subsequent deep processing products such as shrimp paste, shrimp balls and shrimp rolls.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the quality of frozen shrimp raw materials, a large number of researches have been carried out at home and abroad, and the commonly used methods include adding antifreeze, optimizing freezing process, etc. However, these methods still have some shortcomings, such as antifreeze may affect the taste and nutritional ingredients of the product, and the freezing process is complex and requires high equipment.

[0004] In the prior art, the patent application with publication number CN109567067A discloses a quality maintaining conditioning processing method for fish meat, which adopts pulse type breathing tumbling, carrageenan-potassium chloride coating and CO2 ecological ice temperature pretreatment technology to improve the color and toughness of fish meat, but this technology is designed for fish meat and does not consider the characteristics of shrimp such as loose meat and easy loss of astaxanthin, so it is not suitable for shrimp processing. The patent application with publication number US20170245535A1 discloses a meat product quality improvement composition containing carbonate, organic acid salt, sugar alcohol and chitosan oligosaccharide, which has excellent water retention and anti-repeated freezing denaturation effect, but this composition is not suitable for the color protection needs of shrimp.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of shrimp raw material freezing and storage method, which can effectively reduce the water loss after thawing, reduce the loss of nutrients and astaxanthin, maintain the taste and texture of the product, and has the advantages of simple operation, low equipment requirement, economy and environmental protection. This new type of shrimp raw material storage method after tumbling processing and freezing can not only maintain the quality and nutritional ingredients of fresh shrimp, but also realize efficient processing and storage, meet the needs of consumers for high-quality aquatic products, and also take into account the overall utilization of shrimp raw materials, especially in the raw material processing stage, the "three removals" are concentrated, which not only saves labor cost, but also facilitates the use of shrimp heads, shells and other waste, which is more economical and environmental protection. SUMMARY

[0006] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a method for freezing and storing shrimp raw materials after tumbling processing, which adopts a low-phosphorus, color-protecting and anti-freezing three-in-one quality improver to treat fresh shrimp meat after tumbling, effectively reduces the thawing water loss rate during frozen storage, reduces the loss of nutrients and astaxanthin, and the color and taste of the subsequent thawing and deep processing products such as shrimp paste, shrimp balls and shrimp rolls are close to the quality of fresh shrimp. In the raw material processing stage, the overall utilization of shrimp raw materials is realized, especially the full utilization of shrimp heads, shells and other waste, which improves the resource utilization efficiency and is more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is: a method for freezing and storing shrimp raw materials after tumbling processing, comprising the following steps: S1, raw material processing: freshly caught live shrimp are concentrated nearby, and the heads, shells and intestinal threads are removed, and then the shrimp meat is washed with ice water multiple times to obtain clean shrimp meat, and the shrimp meat is transported to each processing plant in a cold chain; S2, tumbling and pickling: a quality improver is weighed to prepare a tumbling and pickling solution, and the shrimp meat and the tumbling and pickling solution are put into a vacuum tumbling pot for vacuum tumbling; the quality improver is composed of trehalose, mannitol, sodium citrate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium erythorbate (sodium iso-VC); S3, low-temperature static pickling: the tumbled shrimp meat is taken out and pickled in a low-temperature warehouse; S4, packaging: the pickled shrimp meat is packaged; S5, freezing and storing: the packaged shrimp meat is first quick-frozen and then long-term frozen and stored.

[0008] The method for freezing and storing shrimp raw materials after tumbling processing has the advantages of short processing time, accurate water control, no phosphorus-containing wastewater treatment problem, and the quality improver used in tumbling processing has the effects of low phosphorus, color protection and anti-freezing, which can effectively improve the overall quality of the shrimp raw materials during long-term frozen storage, and the operation is simple and the equipment requirement is low, which is worth popularizing and applying. The added sodium bicarbonate is used as an acidity regulator in the food industry, has good permeability, can improve the water retention of shrimp and improve the taste, and greatly reduces the content of phosphate in the product when used with phosphate; trehalose is the most stable natural disaccharide, which contains multiple hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure, increases the water holding capacity of shrimp, and can combine with Ca 2+ , Mg 2+Chelation, forming a tightly bound three-dimensional network structure, effectively prevent the loss of water inside shrimp meat; mannitol is a low-calorie sweetener, with a pleasant flavor and mouthfeel, while its chemical properties are stable, and it does not react with amino acids under high temperature conditions, so it can be used as a tissue modifier, moisturizing agent, and anti-freezing agent in food; sodium citrate is a natural sour seasoning that can enhance the flavor of food and has certain antioxidant properties, which can protect fats, vitamins, and other nutrients in food from oxidative damage; sodium iso-VC can extend the shelf life of food by blocking oxidation reactions, has strong antioxidant capacity, and is widely used in processed foods such as meat products, beverages, and canned foods, with high safety and lower cost than natural vitamin C.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment, the low-temperature warehouse in step S3 controls the temperature at 3-5 ℃, and the marinating time is 6-15 h, which can be adjusted according to the water retention of shrimp pieces and the production cycle of the factory.

[0016] Preferably, in the step S4, the marinated shrimp is packed in food self-sealing bags at 2 kg per bag. The food self-sealing bag is used for packing without vacuum packaging.

On the one hand, the purchase and maintenance cost of the vacuum packaging equipment and the special consumable cost can be saved, the operation process is simplified, the production cycle is shortened, and the continuous production line is adapted. On the other hand, the vacuum tumbling + tumbling marinating liquid composite process, the shrimp surface has formed a dense protection, combined with low-temperature static marinating and-40 ℃ quick freezing, the sealing performance of the self-sealing bag is sufficient to block air and prevent bacterial growth, without additional protection of vacuum. At the same time, the loose packaging method can avoid the deformation and muscle fiber rupture of the shrimp caused by high pressure, protect the complete form and elastic taste of the raw materials, and the downstream processing plant can directly use and pack on demand, reduce waste, and reduce the temperature difference stress during thawing, further control the water loss rate, and improve the quality of the final product together with the core process.

[0017] In the preferred scheme, the packing in the step S4 is packed by using food self-sealing bags, without vacuum packaging. In the preferred scheme, the temperature of the quick freezing in the step S5 is-40 ℃, the quick freezing time is 5-7 h, and-60 ℃ freezing equipment is not needed in the quick freezing link.

[0018] In the preferred scheme, the freezing temperature in the step S5 is-18 ℃.

[0035] Shrimp meat cooking sensory method: the power of the electromagnetic oven was 2600 W, and the shrimp meat was placed after the water was boiled, and the water boiling time was 80 s.

[0036] The sensory evaluation results of the shrimp meat in the following examples and comparative examples were the sum of appearance, color, taste and flavor scores. A sensory evaluation team consisting of 10 evaluators evaluated the shrimp meat prepared in the examples and comparative examples according to Table 1, and the average value was taken after scoring.

[0037] Table 1 Evaluation system for new storage method of shrimp raw material

[0038] The above 3 groups of examples and 5 groups of comparative examples were compared after being frozen at -18 ℃ for 6 months, the thawing water loss rate was tested, and the cooking sensory evaluation was carried out according to Table 1, and the specific results were shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0039] Table 2 Example experiment / evaluation results

[0040] Table 3 Comparative example experiment / evaluation results

[0041] From Table 2 and Table 3, it can be seen that, through the analysis of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4, the new storage method of frozen storage of shrimp raw materials after tumbling processing can significantly reduce the thawing water loss rate after freezing, reduce the loss of nutrients and astaxanthin, and the color, taste and flavor of the shrimp meat after 6 months of storage at-18 ℃ are close to the quality of fresh shrimp. Comparative Example 5 uses vacuum packaging for shrimp meat after marinating based on Example 3, and at the same time, the quick-freezing temperature is reduced from-40 ℃ to-60 ℃. There is no significant difference in the quality of shrimp meat after 6 months of freezing between the two, indicating that the new storage method of frozen storage of shrimp raw materials after tumbling processing, the simply packaged shrimp meat after tumbling processing is placed in a food self-sealing bag, quickly frozen at-40 ℃ for 6 hours, and then transferred to a-18 ℃ environment for long-term frozen storage, which can achieve excellent fresh-keeping effect, without the need for vacuum packaging, nor the need for-60 ℃ freezing equipment with higher technical requirements, higher manufacturing costs and higher operating costs. Comparative Example 3 uses vacuum packaging based on Comparative Example 1, and at the same time, the quick-freezing temperature is reduced from-40 ℃ to-60 ℃. The head-on and shell-on shrimp tails of Comparative Example 3 are significantly less damaged in color and taste after 6 months of freezing, indicating that the traditional shrimp meat raw material frozen storage method must be combined with ice coating, vacuum packaging and-60 ℃ quick freezing to improve the storage quality. Not only is the operation complex and the equipment requirement high, but also the quality of the shrimp raw material after long-term freezing is far inferior to the shrimp raw material of the present application after tumbling processing. Although Comparative Examples 3 and 4 can maintain good quality in terms of surface dryness and color damage, they require vacuum packaging and quick freezing at-60 ℃, which requires increased equipment and material costs, and lower temperature quick freezing requires higher energy consumption. Even if the ordinary self-sealing bag is used for packaging in Example, the thawing water loss rate of the shrimp raw material is still controlled within 0.5%, and the sensory quality does not decrease significantly after 6 months of storage. This proves that without vacuum packaging, high-efficiency preservation can be achieved under the support of the core process, and at the same time, the core advantages of the present application, "process simplification and cost optimization", are highlighted. The present application avoids the high requirements of-60 ℃ ultra-low temperature on equipment. On the one hand, the present application can quickly freeze the water to form small ice crystals, reduce the damage to shrimp muscle fibers, and cooperate with vacuum tumbling and tumbling marinating liquid protection to control the thawing water loss rate and nutrient loss rate at an excellent level, with no significant difference from-60 ℃ quick freezing. On the other hand, there is no need to purchase, operate and maintain high-cost-60 ℃ freezing equipment, which greatly reduces the initial investment and energy consumption of industrial production, simplifies the production process, and adapts to the actual production capacity demand of small and medium-sized processing plants. At the same time, the time flexibility of 5-7 hours can match the production rhythm of different batches, taking into account the quality stability and production flexibility. The present application can effectively improve the overall quality of shrimp raw materials during long-term frozen storage, and the operation is simple, the equipment requirement is low, and it is worth popularization and application.

[0042] It should be understood that the foregoing examples are only illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Furthermore, it should be understood that various modifications and changes can be suggested by those skilled in the art, and it is intended that the present application embrace all such modifications and changes that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
