Generally, the head, shell, and tail portions of shrimp are removed during processing and these account for approximately 50% of the catch. The discards from shrimp processing could provide a good source of proteins, minerals, and taste compounds. Therefore, shrimp discards may serve as a potential source of flavorants and seasoning agents. In this study, concentrated salt-fermented sauce (CSFS) and hot-water extracts (HWE) from shrimp processing discards were prepared and characterized. Salt-fermented sauce (SFS) was prepared with 30 g of salt/100g of sample, 0.2 g of sodium erythorbate and 1.6 g of citrate by fermentation at 20°¾2C for 90 days. After that, CSFS was obtained by heat treatment at 95C for 30 min and concentrated. Hot-water extracts was prepare with shrimp discards and same volume of water by heating at 95o C for 10 to 90 min. After 60 d. of fermentation, protein content (6.8%), pH (8.35), and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN, 62.3 mg/100g) of SFS increased significantly (p<0.05) from initial values by 5.9%, pH 7.78, and 34.6 mg/100g, respectively. Yield and extractable nitrogen (EX-N) content of SFS reached a maximum at 60 days with 65% and 935.7 mg/100g. By heating and concentrating of SFS, total nitrogen, nitrogen recovery and desalting rate of CSFS revealed 2,068 mg/100g, 95% and 42.4% through half volume concentration of SFS. Amino nitrogen (159.3 mg/100g) and total nitrogen contents (390.7 mg/100g) of HWE increased rapidly through 60 min of extraction. Yield and salinity of HWE were 45.2% and 0.9%, respectively. Sensory scores (taste and flavor) of CSFS and HWE received significantly higher score (p<0.05) than counterparts of the early stages. Thus, It can be prepared a low-salt flavorants or natural seasoning sauce through mixing of CSFS and HWE.
