Process optimization for high-pressure processing of black tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ) using response surface methodology

) of 0.92, 0.92, and 0.94 for the inactivation rate of S. aureus, hardness, and color changes, respectively. The optimized conditions targeting minimum six log cycle reductions of S. aureus with moderate changes in quality attributes were obtained as: pressure, 361 MPa; time, 12 min and temperature, 46 ℃. The adequacy of the model equation for predicting the optimum response values was verified effectively by the validation data.
