INTRODUCTION
Acetes is widely distributed in different parts of the
world with dominance along the coast of many coun-
tries bordering the Indian Ocean. Acetes is a small sized
shrimp, belongs to family Sergestidae, genus Acetes and
scienti cally named as Acetes indicus. In India, a sub-
stantial quantity of this group locally known as ‘Jawala’
or ‘Kolim’ is landed along the north-west coast in the
states of Gujarat and Maharashtra (Zynudheen, 2004;
Mahakal et al., 2016). At present the fresh utilization of
Acetes is very limited and people locally people consume
Jawala or Kolim regularly either in fresh or dried form
in the preparation of day-to-day food dishes. Acetes
is consumed mostly in dried form due to its availabity
throught out year in market. But consumption of dry
Acetes is more during non- shing season when fresh
sh is not available (Zynudheen et al., 2004; Mahakal et
al., 2016; Shaikh et al., 2017).
Now a days consumer’s particularly urban area are
showing more and more interest in seafood products
which are available in ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook in
convenience form. Recent scenario peoples both man and
women are engaged in jobs and they hardly nd time
to cook food. This leads to reasonably increase in their
income and they become more depend on ready-to-eat,
ready-to-cook and ready-to-fry types of products avail-
able in market (Balachandran, 2001; Pagarkar et al.,
2011). One of the most important foods in ready-to-eat
and ready-to-cook group is battered and breaded prod-
ucts. The process of coating with batter and bread crumbs
increases the bulk of the product, thereby reducing the
content of costly sh (Pagarkar et al., 2012). Keeping
this in view, the present research work was undertaken
to develop a battered and breaded product from low cost
shrimp locally called as Jawala or Kolim (Acetes indicus).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Acetes (Acetes indicus) procured from sh market of Ali-
baug, district Raigad of Maharashtra coast of India, was
brought to processing hall under iced condition. Acetes
were washed with potable water, cleaned and cooked
in boiled water for 15 min., the cooked Acetes mince
was prepared using a grinder. Prepared Acetes mince
was placed in polythene bags then it was frozen and
stored in deep freezer at a - 20ºC temperature until fur-
ther use. As and when required, Acetes mince was taken
out and thawed before use. Cooked potatoes were peeled
and mashed and made into a ne paste. Chopped onions
were fried in sun ower oil till they became brown. Bread
crumbs were used as a coating material.
Standardization in the basic recipe (Pawar, et al.,
2012) as shown in Table 1 was used by varying the ratios
of different ingredients. Firstly the Acetes mince was
mixed with boiled potatoes, turmeric powder and salt,
a mixture of these was kept aside, then chopped onions
were fried in oil until brown in colour then mixed with
green chilly, ginger and garlic paste followed by the
powdered spices (Turmeric powder, pepper powder, cin-
namon powder and clove powder) then mixing of mince
base with the fried spices and cooked. Then cutlets of
40 g were taken and attened to 1cm thickness, dipped
into batter mix (Pawar, 2011) rolled over bread crumbs
and fried in sun ower oil till they became brown in col-
our then were subjected to sensory evaluation.
Acetes cutlet were prepared keeping the constant level
of oil 10 ml (w/w), powdered spices (Turmeric powder 0.2g
(w/w), pepper powder 0.3g (w/w), cinnamon powder 0.2g
(w/w), clove powder 0.3g (w/w)] and bread crumbs 20g
(w/w) while varying quantities of cooked potatoes, onion,
green chilly (C), ginger (G), and table salt, were used for
standardising the recipe. The fried cutlet were subjected to
organoleptic evaluation by a group of ten trained panellist
using 9 point hedonic scale (
ISI, 1975) on the attributes
such as colour, taste, texture, odour and overall accept-
ability. Potato was standardised in basic recipe and Acetes
cutlet was prepared with incorporation of different ratios
of potato to Acetes mince such as 60:100 (T1), 65:100 (T2),
70:100 (T3), 75:100 (T4) and 80:100 (T5) (w/w). All other
ingredients were kept constant. Organoleptic evaluations
were carried out to nd best ratio.
Onion was standardised in basic recipe and Acetes cut-
lets were prepared keeping the standard ratio of potato
obtained from its standardisation 75:100 (T4), with differ-
ent ratios of onion to Acetes mince, such as 15:100 (T1),
20:100 (T2), 25:100 (T3), 30:100 (T4) (w/w) and 35:100
(T5) (w/w). All other ingredients were kept constant and
prepared Acetes cutlets were organolpetically evaluated
for the best combination. Raios of green chilly (C) was
standardised in basic recipe and Acetes cutlet was pre-
pared keeping standard ratio of potato 75:100 (T4) and
onion 20:100 (T2) with different ratios of green chilly (C)
to Acetes mince such as 4:100 (T1), 4.5:100 (T2), 5:100
(T3), 5.5:100 (T4) (w/w) and 6.0:100 (T5). All other ingre-
dients were kept constant. Prepared cutlets were organo-
leptically evaluated for the best combination.
Ratio of ginger (G) was standardised in basic recipe
and Acetes cutlets were prepared keeping standard ratio
of potato 75:100 (T4), onion 20:100 (T2) and 5.5:100 (T4)
with different ratios of ginger (G) to Acetes mince such as
4:100 (T1), 4.5:100 (T2), 5:100 (T3), 5.5:100 (T4) (w/w) and
6.0:100 (T5). All other ingredients were kept constant. Pre-
pared cutlets were organoleptically evaluated for the best
combination.Table salt was standardised as basic recipe
and Acetes cutlet was prepared keeping the standard ratio
of green chilly and ginger obtained from its standardisa-
tion 5.5:100 (T4), with different ratios of salt to Acetes
