The collagen content and composition of collagens in
different age classes of shrimp were determined. Their
physical and chemical characteristics were investigated.
The interrelationship of shrimp size and muscle collagen
content to raw and cooked meat yield was established.
Total collagen content for three lots of round shrimp
with weights...
Chilling (2-4°C) (10 min) in a solution containing 10% condensed
phosphate, 5% potassium sorbate, and 0.9% citric acid (pH 6.7)
stabilized round shrimp to microbial spoilage. This treatment procedure
allowed refrigerated storage of round shrimp eliminating the
need for ice and the accompanying deteriorative effects of water
absorption and protein...
The abundance and low fat content of Pacific whiting
support Its use for the production of surimi. The
degradation of muscle proteins by myxosporidian secreted
proteinase(s) has been associated with its soft texture.
High residual activity is retained through the washing
process used in the production of surimi and precludes...
The influence of protein adjuncts and variations in pH on the
cook-cool loss, moisture content, and texture of squid gels was
investigated. Break force (P [greater than or equal to] .025), deformation to break (P [greater than or equal to] .01)
and cook-cool loss (P [greater than or equal to]...
Means of improving yield and quality of cooked meat from Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) were investigated. Processing factors of cooking time, cooking medium, and condensed phosphate treatment were evaluated. The effect of condensed phosphate treatment and its interrelationship with cooking time and medium on meat was determined.
Meat yield (wet...
Machine separated flesh from American shad (Alosa
sapidissima) was evaluated for preparing heat set gel products.
Round fish frozen for 15) to 10 months at -18°C served as raw
material for processing investigations. The effectiveness of
various additives and processing procedures for improving gel
strength and sensory characteristics were determined....
Treatment of round shrimp (3 days post-catch) in 6% condensed
phosphate solution at temperatures ranging from 39 (3.9°C) to 86°F
(30°C) reduced meat yield derived by mechanical peeling from 30.0
to 16.4% (wet wt.) according to the linear function y = -.2787 x +
42.7262 (P>.005). Condensed phosphate treatment at...
The effect of the application of condensed phosphate
(Brifisol D-510, commercial mixture of sodium tripolylphosphate
and sodium hexametaphosphate) to round shrimp on the
yield and frozen shelf-life characteristics of cooked meat
was investigated. Condensed phosphate retarded protein solubilization
and increased the water-holding capacity of meat
through steam precooking markedly improving...
This investigation was carried out to characterize
and quantitate the collagen of rockfish intramusclar
connective tissue. Different species ot rocktish were chosen
to represent the range of product quality experienced by the
fish processing industry. Species included widow, a rockfish
noted tor its soft flesh, yellowtail, a rockfish possessing
flesh...
Means of reducing the quantity of water required for the washing
unit operation in surimi processing were evaluated. The yield of flesh
mechanically dewatered with a screw press and the degree of reduction in
trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) content were used as indices of washing
efficiency. Variations in water:minced flesh ratio,...
