Myoglobin (Mb) was extracted from Pacific sardine and added to Pacific whiting surimi to measure its effects on protein gelation. The purity of Mb extract was determined by SDS-PAGE. Mb extracted using ethanol showed higher purity than Mb extract using ammonium sulfate. The addition of 0.2% Mb significantly reduced breaking...

Increased sales of surimi seafood, with the majority as crabstick in the United States indicates that surimi based products are becoming more popular. With growing popularity, there is increased competition for market share. Under these circumstances, some companies may be willing to sacrifice product quality in order to facilitate manufacture...

protein. The protein content and quality of raw surimi are varied by fish
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...
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...
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...
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...
Feasibility of ohmic heating to overcome gel-weakening in Pacific whiting surimi
was investigated. An ohmic heating apparatus was developed using two rhodium-coated
stainless steel electrodes inside a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube, a variable transformer,
and voltage and current transducers. Rapid heating associated with the ohmic process
quickly inactivated endogenous proteinase(s),...
Cathepsin B was the most active cysteine proteinase in the Pacific whiting
(Merluccius productus) fish fillet, and cathepsin L in surimi when the activities of the
most active cysteine proteinases (cathepsin L, B, and H) were compared. Cathepsin L
showed maximum activity at 55°C in both fish fillet and surimi,...
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...
