Article Abstract

This study investigated the potential mechanisms underlying odor changes in surimi gel during frozen storage, focusing on lipid alterations. Frozen storage significantly impacted the odor characteristics of surimi gel, with a noticeable decline in fish aroma and an intensification of fishy, oily, and earthy odors after 90 days of freezing. Using liquid nitrogen spray freezing at -80 °C and increasing the cross-linking degree to 62.99 % was beneficial in maintaining the original odor profile of surimi gel. Odor changes during storage were driven by enhanced lipid oxidation and altered lipid distribution. Most lipids significantly associated with odor compounds were unsaturated fatty acids primarily found in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Notably, PC(14:0_20:5), PC(16:0_20:4)(rep), PC(16:0_20:5), PC(18:0_20:4), PC(18:3e_22:6), PC(20:3_22:6), PE(20:4_20:4), and PE(20:4_22:6)(rep) showed negative correlations with volatile compounds such as acetoin, hexanal, heptanal, benzaldehyde, nonanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 1-hexanol. The oxidation of these lipids resulted in alterations to the odor profile of the surimi gel.

Enhancing both structural integrity and nutritional properties is crucial for developing a functional three-dimensional (3D)-printed surimi formulation. Herein, deep-sea salt was used as a substitute for conventional salt to develop 3D-printed surimi. The physicochemical properties, sensory scores, microstructural examinations, chemical bonding analysis, digestion studies, and antioxidant activity of the 3D-printed surimi were systematically evaluated.

An ultra-low temperature (-5 °C) enzymatic method was employed to prepare glycine-amidated pectin (Gly-Pe) and evaluate its physicochemical properties and freeze-thaw protection mechanism in surimi. After glycine grafting (12.77 %), amide bonds disrupted pectin's crystalline structure and enhanced molecular chain flexibility.

The characteristics of gel texture, water holding properties, volatile and non-volatile flavor compounds and flavor precursors were investigated to reveal the effect of the "heating-low temperature storage-reheating" procedure on the sensory properties of silver carp surimi gel. The results on textural and water holding properties demonstrated that the cold storage treatment preserved the structural stability of the surimi gels. However, freeze-thaw cycles resulted in a decrease in breaking force, hardness, and water holding capacity.

The research examines how myofibrillar protein emulsion with different pre-emulsified soybean oil (PESO) levels (0%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) influences surimi gel across seven freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles. The addition of PESO led to a notable improvement in gel strength and whiteness. Significant increases were also noted in hardness, water-holding capacity (WHC), and the maximum relaxation time of the immobilized water (p < 0.
