Notes:
Beef heart surimi was prepared in the presence or absence of propyl gal late and blended with or without cryoprotectants (sorbitol, sucrose) prior to frozen storage at 15°, 29°, and 70°C up to 52 wk. Protein solubility, gelling characteristics, water-holding capacity, cooking yield, and emulsifying properties decreased during storage at 15° and 29°C for control surimi (without cryoprotectants). Propyl gallate alone did not influence functionality changes. However, functional properties were largely protected by cryoprotectants as well as at 70°C independent of cryoprotectants. Thus, unless extremely low temperatures are used, beef heart surimi subjected to long-term cryogenic storage should be mixed with cryoprotectants and antioxidants to preserve functionality.
