Effects of moisture content, pH, and salt concentration on dynamic rheological properties and gel fracture quality of Pacific whiting surimi were investigated. Torsion tests showed that shear stress decreased rapidly and strain values decreased gradually as moisture concentration increased. As pH increased, fracture shear stress and strain values increased, whereas...
The results of SDS-PAGE and densitometry indicated that a significant amount of myofibrillar proteins was lost during surimi processing. Microfiltration (MF) was utilized to recover insoluble particulate. The MF-recovered proteins showed highly functional properties in gel hardness, cohesiveness, color, and water retention ability. The soluble proteins concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF)...
Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation obtained from three fish species: Alaska pollock (AP) (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific whiting (PW) (Merluccius productus), and threadfin bream (TB) (Nemipterus spp.) was the focus of this study. Three parameters during comminution were separately evaluated: chopping time, chopping temperature, and salting...

Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation
Protein solubility of Pacific whiting muscle with isoelectric point at pH 5.5 was significantly affected by pH. The highest breaking force was measured from fish proteins treated at pH 11, while high deformation values were obtained at pH 2 and 11. Texture of gels made using the conventional method were...
A novel method for isolating fish proteins by shifting pH to high acid or high alkali pH was the focus of the study. Biochemical and physicochemical properties of various pH-treated soluble fish proteins as a function of ionic strength were determined. Effect of ionic strength and various storage conditions on...
Anserine and carnosine are water-soluble dipeptides that have antioxidant
properties and are found in the skeletal muscle of mammals and fishes. These
dipeptides are removed through the washing process in surimi production. The
objective of this research was to determine the concentration of anserine and
carnosine in surimi wash water...
