Abstract

This study investigated the effects of the number of washes and alkaline treatments (NaHCO 3 concentrations) and the concentration of potato starch on the quality of fish meat paste products prepared from sand lance Ammodytes personatus Girard. We found significantly ( P<0.05) higher ratings for the all textural parameters (hardness, brittleness, elasticity, and cohesiveness) of the sandlance meat paste products (SLMPPs) that were washed three times with a 0.5% NaHCO 3 concentration. We determined that an 8% concentration of potato starch leads to the best textural properties in SLMPPs. As the amount of potato starch was increased, the redness values of SLMPPs decreased significantly ( P<0.05), but the differences in the sensory evaluation parameters (texture, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability) between the SLMPPs were not significant.
