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...
Gadoid fish, like Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting, have a high level of trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) that catalyzes the breakdown of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) to formaldehyde (FA) and dimethylamine (DMA) even during frozen storage. FA reacts with amino acid residues to promote covalent cross-links in the formation of inter- and intramolecular...
The ability of salmon plasma protein (SPP) obtained from Chinook salmon at the Klaskanine Fish Hatchery (Astoria, OR) to inhibit protease enzymes found in Pacific whiting (PW) surimi and salmon mince as well as the effect of SPP on the gelation properties of PW surimi under various heating conditions was...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic pathogen that occurs naturally in coastal and estuarine environments. This human pathogen is frequently isolated from a variety of seafood, particular oysters, and is the leading cause of gastroenteritis associated with seafood consumption. Several outbreaks of V. parahaemolyticus infections linked to consumption of raw...
There are presently two successful methods used to refine fish muscle proteins: surimi and fish protein isolate (FPI). Both surimi and FPI have the ability to form an elastic gel upon comminution and heating. However, their gelation behaviors are different as they are refined in a biochemically opposite way based...
Analytical chemistry is an essential qualitative and quantitative tool to describe foods and biomaterials and their changes during production, processing and distribution. In this work, rapid analytical procedures for the extraction and quantification of components in fluid milk and diatom fermentation broth were developed. Analytical methods to measure the concentration...
