The rheological, color, micro-structural, and electrical properties of surimi seafood gels were investigated. Various starches and protein additives at different ratios were evaluated with Alaska pollock surimi under ohmic heating at different heating rates to determine their functional properties and further to compare these properties with those of conventionally cooked...
In surimi manufacturing, less than 25% of the total weight of the fish is utilized. This research focused on meat recovery from fish frames, the residual portion of the fish after filleting headed and gutted fish. A new technology, the water jet deboning (WJD) system, was tested. The WJD system...
Fish ball is an extruded surimi-based product that is popular among Asian communities. In the manufacturing of fish ball, optimum floatation is extremely important for maximal production. Factors affecting floatation of fish ball in water were investigated. The density of threadfin bream surimi paste significantly decreased (P<O.05) as moisture content...
The effects of the residual salt of surimi on biochemical and physical properties as affected by various freeze and thaw cycles were examined. Fresh Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) surimi was mixed with 4.0% sugar, and 5.0% sorbitol, along with eight combinations of salt (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 % NaCl)...
The effects of freeze-drying and flake freezing of surimi on biochemical and physical properties as affected by various storage conditions were examined. Using three cooking parameters shear stress and strain values were evaluated to measure gelation properties of surimi gels. Stress values increased up to 3 months and then decreased...
Rice flour possesses functional properties in enhancing texture and whiteness. This study was carried out to evaluate rice flour as a functional ingredient for premium crabstick and to develop a commercially viable recipe for premium crabstick. Crabstick pastes were formulated with constant surimi (42%) and combined rice flour and starch...
