Abstract
Shrimp and other seafood can be preserved to extend their freshness shelf life by immersing them in an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving a dry mixture containing sodium metabisulfite with from 30 to 50% by weight of sodium sulfite. These solutions have excellent preservative action yet have very little or no odor of sulfur dioxide. The solutions are useful in a concentration of up to about 3% by weight.
