Crayfish and shrimp, which belong to the class Crustacea, are considered to be highly demanded products in the food industry. They are widely used in the national cuisines and food industries of various countries. These marine and freshwater organisms have a rich protein content, taste and biological value, and provide the human body with amino acids, microelements (zinc, iron, iodine, magnesium) and omega-3 fatty acids. However, crustaceans are included in the category of perishable food products and require strict control during their storage, transportation and sale. Therefore, the correct and systematic assessment of their organoleptic indicators is extremely important from the point of view of product safety, quality and suitability for use.
