Notes:
Surimi without enzyme inhibitors containing 78% moisture and 2% NaCl was heated conventionally and ohmically to 90°C after holding at 55°C for 0, 1, 3 and 5 min. Gels heated slowly in a water bath exhibited poor gel quality, while the ohmically heated gels without holding at 55°C showed more than a twofold increase in shear stress and shear strain over conventionally heated gels. Degradation of myosin and actin was minimized by ohmic heating, resulting in a continuous network structure. Ohmic heating with a rapid heating rate was an effective method for maximizing gel functionality of Pacific whiting surimi without enzyme inhibitors.
