Notes:
The thermal gelation properties of myofibril solutions (KCl 0.6M; pH 6.0) from reared brown trout white and red muscles were analyzed by thermal scanning rheometry. With a heating rate of 1°C/min, red muscle myofibrils exhibited a lower gelation capacity than white muscle myofibrils at low temperatures. No difference was observed above 60°C where solid gels were formed from the two myofibril types. Increasing protein concentration or reducing heating rate increased the values of the rheological parameters at 80°C for the two muscle type myofibrils. With a low heating rate (0.25°C/min), white muscle myofibrils formed stronger gels whatever the temperature.
