Abstract
The emulsion was prepared with peanut oil and corn starch with different amylose content using high-speed homogenization assisted high-pressure homogenization, and the effect of starch-based emulsion on the gel properties, whiteness, microstructure, protein secondary structure, chemical forces, texture and sensory properties of Nemipterus virgatus surimi was investigated. The results showed that high amylose corn starch was more beneficial to the stability of emulsion than normal and waxy starch. The gel strength, water holding capacity and texture properties of surimi were significantly improved by adding 10 % waxy corn starch-based emulsion or 15 % high amylose or normal corn starch-based emulsion. Moreover, the whiteness of surimi gel containing starch-based emulsion was higher, and the microstructure was more compact and delicate than that of surimi without emulsion. The addition of starch-based emulsion could increase the hydrophobic interaction and disulfide bond content, and promote the transformation of protein secondary structure to irregular direction. The sensory properties such as color, texture, taste and overall acceptability could be improved to varying degrees. Therefore, starch-based emulsion could be used to enhance the gel properties and nutritional value of surimi products.
