Toward shrimp consumption without chemicals: Combined effects of freezing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on some quality characteristics of Giant Red Shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea) during storage

•Freezing combined with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of GRS was studied.•Incorporating vacuum packaged and sulphite-treated ones enabled robust comparisons.•Measured qualities statistically differed across treatment groups with frozen storage.•Combining freezing and MAP can replace sulphite treatments and with promising results.
