SHELLFISH FRESHNESS-MAINTAINING METHOD AND FRESHNESS-MAINTAINING SOLUTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shellfish freshness-maintaining method by which nutrients in the shellfish can be increased in a short time, and to provide a freshness-maintaining solution. SOLUTION: The shellfish freshness-maintaining method comprises dissolving nutrients capable of being absorbed from the organs of the shellfishes except the digestive organs in water to prepare the freshness-maintaining solution 5, and then immersing the shellfishes 1 in the freshness-maintaining solution 5 to enhance the concentrations of the nutrients 3 in the shellfish flesh. Herein, the nutrients 3 are preferably amino acids such as glycine and/or taurine. Further preferably, the time desired for the immersion is 24 to 96 hr. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
