Abstract
ABSTRACT The gel strength of surimi made from Alaska pollock, common carp, grass carp, and silver carp was determined and compared for different incubation temperatures and periods. Gel strength and setting of the 3 freshwater fish species were inferior to that of Alaska pollock. Effects of the protein concentration, heating temperature and heating period on the gel strength were evaluated and compared utilizing the response surface methodology. Models for the breaking force and breaking distance of the surimi of the 4 species were established. Protein concentration was the major factor affecting the gel strength. Effects of heating temperature and heating period had differed somewhat among the surimi of the 4 species.
