Análisis físico químico y microbiológico de camarón para exportación

Abstract

The shrimp sector in Ecuador has evolved over the years, overcoming endless obstacles, such as lack of financing, overproduction in the world and diseases that affect shrimp. This sector in general, generates various sources of work thus benefiting thousands of Ecuadorian households. The Ecuadorian shrimp is cultivated under the extensive low-density system which helps the shrimp have more space for their feeding and growth, helping in this way to control the spread of diseases allowing in this way to provide the international market with a high quality product, size and much cooler in different presentations. In this research work, the different current quality parameters of Ecuadorian shrimp for export were analyzed based on the NORMA ECUATORIANA INEN 456:2013 for frozen shrimp or prawns. The levels of Sodium Metabisulfites used in the company PROMAORO S.A range from 70 to 100 mg / kg in shrimp ready for export, these fully comply with the NORMA ECUATORIANA INEN 456:2013 CAMARONES O LANGOSTINOS CONGELADOS
