Year-round change in gelation of bassy chub (Kyphosus lembus) meat, collected from October 2001 to September 2002 off the coast of Nagasaki, was investigated. The fish meat exhibited a similar high gel-forming ability for all seasons, including pre-and post-spawning seasons. Freshwater washing of the meat did not improve its gel-forming ability. It was concluded that bassy chub meat could be used for thermal gel production in all seasons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
