  • Nutraceutical profiling of Surimi gel containing β-glucan stabilized virgin coconut oil with and without antioxidants after simulated gastro-intestinal digestion
    Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Asir Gani, Soottawat Benjakul, Zanoor Ul Ashraf
    Abstract:

    Surimi gels containing β-glucan stabilized virgin coconut oil (VCO) were subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion and the resulting digest was analyzed for nutraceutical properties. β-glucan stabilized VCO nanoemulsion (βG-V-N) remarkably improved antioxidant activities of the Surimi digest. When epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was added in nanoemulsion, the Surimi digest showed the highest antioxidant activities. Antidiabetic activity of the digest was also improved by the addition of βG-V-N comprising EGCG. Nevertheless, the addition of βG-V-N lowered ACE inhibitory activity of Surimi digest. The Surimi digest from the gel added with βG-V-N possessed an inhibitory effect on five cancer cell lines including HEK (Human embryonic kidney 293 cells), MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line), U87 (human glioma), HeLa (human cervical cancer), and IMR-32 (human neuroblastoma), regardless of EGCG or α-tocopherol incorporated. This study demonstrated that Surimi gel supplemented with βG-V-N in the presence of EGCG exhibited nutraceutical potential and could be used as a functional food.

  • effect of squid melanin free ink and pre emulsification on properties and stability of Surimi gel fortified with seabass oil during refrigerated storage
    Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Thanasak Saeleaw, Natchaphol Buamard, Naveen Kumar Vate, Soottawat Benjakul
    Abstract:

    The effects of melanin-free ink (MFI) and pre-emulsification on gel properties and stability of bigeye snapper Surimi gel fortified with seabass oil during refrigerated storage of 10 days were studied. Lipid oxidation as determined by peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of Surimi gel increased as the level of seabass oil increased (P < 0.05). When MFI was incorporated into Surimi gel, lower PV was obtained throughout the storage (P < 0.05). Addition of seabass oil pre-emulsified with soy protein isolate (SPI) in the presence of MFI yielded Surimi gel with the highest breaking force and could improve oxidative stability during refrigerated storage (P < 0.05). Slight decrease in whiteness was found in Surimi gel added with MFI, while those added with MFI along with pre-emulsified seabass oil showed increased whiteness (P < 0.05). Addition of MFI did not affect total viable count and psychrophilic bacterial count in Surimi gels. Thus, the incorporation of pre-emuls...

  • Combining Effect of Microbial Transglutaminase and Bambara Groundnut Protein Isolate on Gel Properties of Surimi from Sardine (Sardinella albella)
    Food Biophysics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Tanaji G. Kudre, Soottawat Benjakul
    Abstract:

    Effects of protein isolate from bambara groundnut (BGPI) at different levels (0–6 %, w/w) in combination with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) at different concentrations (0, 0.3 and 0.6 U g^−1Surimi) on gels properties of sardine ( Sardinella albella ) Surimi were investigated. In the absence of MTGase, the increases in breaking force and deformation of gels were obtained when BGPI at levels of 1.5–3 % was incorporated ( P  

  • properties of Surimi gel as influenced by fish gelatin and microbial transglutaminase
    Food bioscience, 2013
    Co-Authors: Pimchanok Kaewudom, Soottawat Benjakul, Kongkarn Kijroongrojana
    Abstract:

    Abstract Gel properties of threadfin bream ( Nemipterus bleekeri ) Surimi added with fish gelatin at different levels (0–20% protein substitution) in combination with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) at various concentrations (0–1.2 units g −1 Surimi) were studied. Breaking force and deformation of Surimi gel decreased when the levels of fish gelatin increased ( p p 0.05). Addition of fish gelatin could lower the expressible moisture content of Surimi gel. Band intensity of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and actin of Surimi gel decreased when fish gelatin levels increased, mainly due to dilution effect. The coarser and irregular gel structure was obtained when fish gelatin was added. The addition of 1.2 units MTGase g −1 Surimi decreased MHC in Surimi gel containing fish gelatin slightly.

  • Effect of bovine and fish gelatin in combination with microbial transglutaminase on gel properties of threadfin bream Surimi
    International Aquatic Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Pimchanok Kaewudom, Soottawat Benjakul, Kongkarn Kijroongrojana
    Abstract:

    Textural property of Surimi products is a prime factor in determining the acceptability of consumer as well as market value. Gelatin is one of the most popular biopolymers widely used in food industry as gelling agent with the unique textural properties. Therefore, the addition of gelatin along with the use of protein cross-linkers could be a means to modify the texture of Surimi gel, which can fit the demand of consumers. Surimi from the threadfin bream (Nemipterus bleekeri) was added with bovine gelatin (BG) and bovine/fish gelatin mix (BFGM; 1:1, 2:1, 1:2, 4:1, and 1:4) at 10% protein substitution in combination with and without microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) at 1.2 units/g Surimi. Textural properties, whiteness, expressible moisture content, protein pattern, and microstructure and sensory properties of gels were determined. When MTGase at 1.2 units/g Surimi was incorporated, the increases in breaking force and deformation were noticeable in both Surimi gels, with and without 10% BG added ( p < 0.05). On the other hand, Surimi gels added with BFGM at all bovine/fish gelatin ratios had the higher breaking force and deformation, compared with that added with BG, when MTGase was incorporated. Addition of BG or BFGM lowered the expressible moisture content and whiteness of Surimi gel ( p < 0.05). Based on SDS-PAGE, band intensity of myosin heavy chain and actin of Surimi gel decreased when Surimi gel was added with all gelatins, regardless of MTGase addition. The microstructure study revealed that Surimi gel network became finer and denser with the addition of MTGase (1.2 units/g Surimi), but the coarser and irregular structure was obtained when gelatin was incorporated. Gelatin, especially bovine/fish gelatin mix, at an appropriate level could be used as the protein additive in surumi gel in conjunction with MTGase in order to improve the textural and nutritive properties of the products.

  • Mince from seafood processing by-product and Surimi as food ingredients
    Maximising the Value of Marine By-Products, 2014
    Co-Authors: J. S. Kim, Jae W. Park
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary Fish mince can be defined as deboned and unwashed fish flesh from fillets or frames and is produced at the initial step of Surimi manufacturing. When compared to Surimi, fish mince can be obtained at a significantly higher yield with much less capital investment. Washed fish mince/Surimi is an inexpensive intermediate material for manufacturing various seafood products. Unwashed fish mince also offers nutritional advantages, economic benefits as well as functional advantages compared to the other intermediate materials. Fish mince can also be successfully used directly in various food systems and in a physically or chemically altered form to produce an array of nutritional and functional products. This chapter discusses the manufacturing methods and machinery for fish mince/Surimi, characteristics of mince/Surimi processing by-products, functional and nutritional properties of mince/Surimi, and its utilization. Fish mince/Surimi is commonly frozen for attaining longer shelf life. Utilization of frozen fish also provides a more constant supply of raw material independent of yearly variation and thereby facilitates consistent production planning. Mince is the flesh separated in a comminuted form from skin, bones, scales, and fins. Therefore, the nutritional properties of unwashed fish mince are similar to those of the raw material, while superior to those of Surimi.

  • semi-empirical relationship between rupture properties of Surimi pastes and failure shear stress of Surimi gels at different moisture contents
    Journal of Texture Studies, 2013
    Co-Authors: Joo Dong Park, Jae W. Park, Won Byong Yoon
    Abstract:

    Rupture properties, such as yield stress (YS) and the limit of linear viscoelastic region (LLVER), of Alaska pollock Surimi pastes and failure shear stress (FSS) of Alaska pollock Surimi gels were measured at various moisture contents. The stress-stain behavior of Surimi paste was measured by the small amplitude oscillatory shear test using a dynamic rheometer. The YS values and the applied stress at LLVER (ASLLVER) of Surimi paste were analyzed based on the stress-strain behavior during stress sweep test at 0.1 Hz. The FSS of Surimi gels measured by the Hamann Torsion Gelometer showed a strong correlation with the moisture content (r2 = 0.95). YS and ASLLVER showed strong correlations with the moisture contents (r2 = 0.94 and 0.94, respectively). Such good correlations found at varied moisture contents suggest that the rupture properties of Surimi paste may help estimate the texture properties of gel products. Practical Application Texture properties play a major role in evaluating the quality of final products of Surimi seafood, such as kamaboko and crabsticks. Failure shear stress from the torsion test is known as the most reliable value to reflect the hardness of Surimi gels. Although the torsion test generates good correlations with sensory results, there are a few inevitable disadvantages: it possesses the complexity of measurements and the laborious sample preparation. Generally, the torsion test requires 1 day for gels and about 2 h for the testing specimen. Our study discovered a strong correlation of FSS of Surimi gels with the rupture properties of Surimi pastes, such as YS and the LLVER. Since the rupture properties of Surimi pastes do not require gelation, it saves the testing time dramatically. Our new finding can be used to partially estimate the gel properties based on the paste properties, when enzymatic reactions in fish proteins are not considered.

  • Roles of Starch in Surimi Seafood: A Review
    Food Reviews International, 2009
    Co-Authors: A. Hunt, K. J. Getty, Jae W. Park
    Abstract:

    Surimi seafood is a cooked gel product that utilizes fish protein from Surimi to produce seafood analog products. Starch is the second most important ingredient used in the manufacture of Surimi seafood due to its water holding ability and capacity to partially replace fish proteins while maintaining desired gel characteristics at a reduced cost. Typically, starch is added to Surimi seafood formulations at 4–12%. Functional properties of Surimi seafood to control wetness, stickiness, and/or thermal stability upon different storage and serving temperatures have been extensively studied using modified starches. There is a great need to review the role of starches in various applications of Surimi seafood.

    Abstract:

    Effects of trisodium citrate (TSC) and tricalcium citrate (TCC) on the gel forming and cryoprotective properties of tilapia Surimi were investigated. TSC and TCC were added alone or mixed into fresh Surimi, the fresh Surimi was then frozen stored for 8 weeks. Gel properties (gel strength and whiteness) of fresh or frozen Surimi were determined. The results showed that the gel strength of gels prepared from fresh or frozen Surimi was increased significantly (p<0.05) after the addition of TSC, the whiteness of Surimi gels was little affected when TSC was added (p>0.05); the whiteness of gels prepared from fresh or frozen Surimi was increased significantly (p<0.05) after the addition of TCC, but the gel strength of Surimi gels were little influenced when TCC was added alone (p>0.05). TSC and TCC were added mixed was better than they were added alone when the gel strength and whiteness of Surimi gels were evaluated together.

  • physicochemical properties of Surimi gels fortified with dietary fiber
    Food Chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Alicia Debusca, Reza Tahergorabi, Sarah K. Beamer, Kristen E. Matak, Jacek Jaczynski
    Abstract:

    Abstract Although dietary fiber provides health benefits, most Western populations have insufficient intake. Surimi seafood is not currently fortified with dietary fiber, nor have the effects of fiber fortification on physicochemical properties of Surimi been thoroughly studied. In the present study, Alaska pollock Surimi was fortified with 0–8 g/100 g of long-chain powdered cellulose as a source of dietary fiber. The protein/water concentrations in Surimi were kept constant by adding an inert filler, silicon dioxide in inverse concentrations to the fiber fortification. Fiber-fortified Surimi gels were set at 90 °C. The objectives were to determine (1) textural and colour properties; (2) heat-induced gelation (dynamic rheology); and (3) protein endothermic transitions (differential scanning calorimetry) of Surimi formulated with constant protein/water, but variable fiber content. Fiber fortification up to 6 g/100 g improved (P

Fiber fortification up to 6 g/100 g improved (P < 0.05) texture and colour although some decline occurred with 8 g/100 g of fiber. Dynamic rheology correlated with texture and showed large increase in gel elasticity, indicating enhanced thermal gelation of Surimi. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that fiber fortification did not interfere with thermal transitions of Surimi myosin and actin. Long-chain fiber probably traps water physically, which is stabilized by chemical bonding with protein within Surimi gel matrix. Based on the present study, it is suggested that the fiber–protein interaction is mediated by water and is physicochemical in nature.

  • color and textural parameters of pressurized and heat treated Surimi gels as affected by potato starch and egg white
    Food Research International, 2004
    Co-Authors: Gipsy Tabilomunizaga, Gustavo V Barbosacanovas
    Abstract:

    Abstract Alaska pollock (AP) and Pacific whiting (PW) Surimi gels containing potato starch (PS) and/or egg white (EW) were induced with 400 and 650 MPa for 10 min at 20 °C and compared with heat-induced gels (90 °C, 40 min). Determination of textural parameters, compression tests, penetration tests and texture profile analysis were carried out. L ∗ , a ∗ , and b ∗ values were also determined. Pressure treatment improved whiteness of Surimi gels as compared with heat-treated Surimi gels, whereas additives did not. The whiteness of AP Surimi gels varied from 67.2% to 76.7%, while the whiteness of PW Surimi gels varied from 62.3% to 76.9%. At 400 MPa, whiteness values were 10% higher than heated gels. However, at 650 MPa whiteness increased 8%. Gels scored the maximum of 5 in the folding test irrespective of pressure applied or additives. Gel strength behaves differently in AP and PW Surimi gels. For AP Surimi gels an improvement was observed at 400 MPa as compared with heat-induced gels, whereas in PW Surimi gels no improvement was observed.

  • viscoelastic properties of pressurised and heat induced Surimi gels made from alaska pollock theragra chalcogramma and pacific whiting merluccius productus
    Food Australia, 2004
    Co-Authors: Gipsy Tabilomunizaga, Gustavo V Barbosacanovas
    Abstract:

    When Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting Surimi gels induced by high hydrostatic pressures at 400 MPa or 650 MPa for 10 min at 22°C, or heat induced (90°C, 40 min) with added egg white and/or potato starch were tested for amplitude sweep, frequency sweep and creep/recovery, the additives did not affect the viscoelastic properties but pressure did. The lower the pressure the greater the elasticity of the gels. Phase angles (8) for Surimi gels were practically constant, indicating consistent solid-like behavior over the entire frequency range. The highest elasticity was exhibited in Alaska pollock Surimi gels at 400 MPa with egg white (8 = 9.65°) and Pacific whiting Surimi gels heat induced without additives (8=10.37°).The compliance data (J 0 (1/Pa)) of both pollock and whiting Surimi gels exhibited the highest values in pressurised and heat-induced gels without additives. Pressure increased (P<0.05) elastic recovery response (over 85%) compared with heat-induced Surimi gels (∼76%).
