Abstract

Myosin heavy chain (MHC) content of cooked gels of pollock and croaker surimi decreased during preincubation ("setting") at temperatures ranging from 4-50 degrees C. Decreases in MHC content were attributed to either nondisulfide covalent cross-linking or proteolysis. Depending upon which process do...
