Abstract

The formed silver carp surimi gels with the addition of egg albumin(EA),microbial transglutaminase(MTGase) or both of them were tested for their properties and SDS-PAGE patterns in order to examine the effect of EA on the properties of MTGase-induced silver carp surimi gels.EA or MTGase could significantly improve surimi gel properties.EA inhibited the formation of MTGase-induced surimi gels,and resulted in a noticeable decrease in their gel strength and breaking force,but had no inhibitory effect on cross-linking of myosin heavy chain.
