Thermally processing seafood, e.g. shrimp, in the presence of a mixture of an acid and its lactones, preferably a mixture of an aldonic acid and its lactones whereby, without need for salt, the texture and flavor of the seafood are maintained through thermal processing and storage. Also, a package having a thermally processed seafood product and gluconic acid therein. The preferred mixture is obtained by combining the seafood with glucono-delta lactone, and the mixture is comprised of gluconic acid with its lactones, glucono-delta lactone and glucono-gamma lactone. |
