Notes:
Effect of sodium-L-ascorbate (SA) on the gel-forming properties of Alaska pollock surimi was studied with respect to optimum level, surimi quality, gel setting, vacuum chopping, freeze-thaw and thermal stabilities, and salt and moisture levels. SA significantly improved gel cohesiveness and sensory firmness of fiberized products with maximum strengthening effect at a 0.2% level. Its effectiveness was directly related to surimi quality regardless of vacuum treatment indicating the unimportance of airborne oxygen. Freeze-syneresis promoted by ascorbatc during frozen storage was moderated by the use of hydrox-ypropylatcd-modified starch.
