1. The document evaluates the antimicrobial effectiveness of Citrex, an organic acid complex, compared to chlorine solution as disinfectants during shrimp packing. 2. Microbial testing of shrimp samples found that Citrex at 400ppm reduced mesophilic bacteria and coliforms more than chlorine at 200ppm. 3. Further research is needed, but initial results indicate Citrex may be more effective at reducing microbes on shrimp than chlorine solutions.
