Abstract
This study mainly investigated the effect of soy protein isolate (SPI) on the gel quality of silver carp surimi under different storage conditions (storage temperatures of 4 °C, -20 °C, and -40 °C, and storage times of 0, 15, and 30 d). The results found that 10% SPI could inhibit the growth of ice crystals, improve the water distribution, enhance the water holding capacity of the gels, and strengthen the interaction between surimi and proteins. Compared to the control group, the composite silver carp surimi gel exhibited superior quality in texture, chemical interactions, and rheological properties during cold storage. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed an increasing trend in α-helix and β-turn content and a decreasing trend of β-sheet and random coil content. As storage time increased, the gel deterioration during cold storage inhibitory effect of the treatment group was superior to the control group, with the best results observed at -40 °C storage conditions. Overall, SPI was a good choice for maintaining the quality of silver carp surimi gel during cold storage, which could significantly reduce the changes in the textural properties during cold storage with improved water holding capacity.
