Abstract

Effects of setting temperature, time, and addition of porcine plasma protein (PPP) on gel properties of surimi from bigeye snapper (Priacanthus tayenus) were investigated. Breaking force and deformation of the surimi gels increased as the setting time and temperature increased. The gel preincubated at 35C for 90 min in the presence of 0.5% PPP, followed by cooking at 90C for 20 min showed the maximum force and deformation. The decrease in solubility of the resultant suwari and kamaboko gels in solution containing sodium dodecyl sulfate, urea and β-mercaptoethanol suggested that gel enhancement was mainly mediated through the formation of nondisulfide covalent bonds catalyzed by both transglutaminase (TGase) in fish muscle and porcine plasma. Addition of PPP slightly decreased the whiteness of the kamaboko gels.
