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...
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...
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...
Wood and wood-based composites are being used in either
new or more demanding applications. A means is needed to
successfully analyze new materials and to predict their long-term
performance. Two techniques, dynamic mechanical
analysis (DMA) and time-temperature superposition (TTS) offer
a means to accomplish this objective. The outcome of this...
