Dear Carlos,
To my knowledge there is no "official method" for analyzing residual
phosphates in shrimp. However, Dr. Steve Otwell and his staff at the
University of Florida have done a significant amount of work in this
area.
Dr. Otwell has developed a two-step test where you analyze both total
moisture content and residual phosphorous. Based on my experience
comparing the results of this methodology against an expert group of
organoleptic testers, the results were right on. For more information I
suggest you contact Dr. Otwell or Dr. Laura Garrido at (352) 392-1991.
Best of Luck
