Abstract
The relative cryoprotective effects of flaxseed protein hydrolysate and pectin in comparison with conventional cryoprotectant (sucrose + sorbitol + sodium tripolyphosphates) on stabilization of proteins in surimi of Capoor (Cyprinus carpio) were investigated during freezing (-20°C for 4 months) and chilling storage (4°C for 10 days). Although pectin caused to improve water-holding capacity (27.8%; 4°C and 21.5%; -20°C) on account of highly more inhibitory impact on the ice crystals growth, the protein denaturation may have occurred. It can be related to higher reduction in the amount of salt extractable protein (%) and the immeasurable value of thiol group in surimi formulation containing pectin compared with other cryoprotectants. The results of modeling surimi samples showed that salt extractable protein and sulfhydryl content were in good agreement with the first-order reaction model at -20°C and second-order kinetic model at 4°C. In comparison with other samples, samples treated with flaxseed protein showed the lowest reaction rate constant during chilled and frozen storage. The results confirmed that flaxseed protein with no sweetness and considerable caloric value had a cryoprotective effect similar to sucrose + sorbitol + polyphosphate and even better.
