Summary
The object of this study was a high‐protein Antarctic krill ball which was made of mixed shrimp surimi (Antarctic krill and white shrimp). The effects of four different exogenous additives on gel properties and spatial structure of mixed shrimp surimi systems during processing were investigated by texture profile analysis, low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance imaging, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and rheology analysis, according to product formulation and processing conditions. Different exogenous additives improved distinctly the mixed shrimp surimi system. The use of the four exogenous additives combined had a synergistic promotional effect. Acetylated distarch adipate, egg white powder and soy protein isolate played a vital role in producing high‐protein Antarctic krill balls. The relatively limited improvement of transglutaminase could be attributed to processing temperature and the presence of autolytic enzymes originated intrinsically from Antarctic krill surimi.
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.
