Studies on equilibrium moisture content of canned prawn with particular reference to drained weight

Drained weight of canned prawn depends on moisture content of blanched meat and equilibrium moisture (EM) content of processed meat. The greater the difference between the two values the more is the fluctuation in drained weight. EM is a fixed value with particular reference to the species of prawn, which has been justified mathematically and by material balance of can contents before and after processing.
