Abstract
In Australia, prawns are usually treated with a 1% sodium metabisulphite solution to prevent black spot. Two alternatives, Bacterol and Snow Fresh, were compared to the standard metabisulphite treatment used by industry. Bacterol gave similar protection to sodium metabisulphite, while Snow Fresh showed potential as a substitute. The concentrations most appropriate were determined from residue levels after treatment.
