Sous vide (SV) and high-pressure processing (HPP) are promising techniques in the development of high-quality seafood products. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impacts of HPP on the physicochemical quality and consumer acceptance of subsequently SV-cooked lobster tails. Raw shucked lobster tails were processed at 150 or 350 MPa for 5 or 10 min. Subsequently, half were SV cooked to a core temperature of 65 degrees C/10 min. Texture profile analysis, shear force, color, salt soluble protein content, water-holding capacity (WHC), moisture content, and weight loss were analyzed. Pressurization at 150 MPa/10 min decreased (P < 0.05) the hardness of raw lobsters compared to non-HPP-treated controls. However, 350 MPa for 5 or 10 min increased (P < 0.05) the shear force in raw and SV-cooked samples. HPP increased (P < 0.05) the L* values but did not affect moisture content, WHC, or weight loss of raw or SV-cooked lobsters. Lobsters were subjected to consumer acceptability testing using a 9-point hedonic scale. Although panelists rated the flavor, texture, and overall liking of the 350 MPa/10 min samples higher than the control and 150 MPa/10 min samples, there were no significant differences among treatment means, indicating that physicochemical changes induced by HPP did not affect consumer acceptance. In addition, approximately 84% of panelists reported that the 350 MPa product met their expectations compared to approximately 75% for the control and 150 MPa treatments. These results suggest that HPP has the potential to be applied in combination with SV cooking to produce consumer-acceptable, value-added lobster products.
