The objective of the current study was to optimize the cook-chill conditions of high-value whiteleg shrimp () processed using the sous vide (SV) technique and to assess the effects of various time-temperature combinations on the physicochemical, textural, and sensory qualities. For optimization, a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach utilizing a Central Composite Design (CCD) was adopted. Optimum SV cooking conditions to acquire minimum texture (hardness) of 7235 g was 13.

In the present study, the dynamic viscoelastic behavior (DVB) and flow behavior of fresh tilapia () meat containing cryoprotectants were evaluated with and without water washing. The DVB profile of washed meat with 4% sucrose and sorbitol indicated the maximum structure buildup reaction up to 56.8 °C; thereafter, hydrophobic interactions leading to decreased gelation were suppressed.
