Textural quality of sweet dumpling: effect of germination of waxy rice

Fresh paste from horse mackerel ( T. murphyi) surimi-type, was processed during setting using (2%) KCI. The paste was subjected to different heating and cooling cycles. The salt produced an improve ment in kamaboko-type gel formation. The heating and cooling cycles enhanced the setting process and improved textural quality of the resulting gel, mainly when the heating before cooling was slow. The setting process was characterized by several physical parameters: storage module ( G'), using an oscillatory rheological technique, and apparent Young module ( E), by means of mechanical compres sion tests. The enthalpic changes for gelification of the paste were determined using differential scan ning calorimetry.

Test Cells

Abstract Different test cells (a Warner-Bratzler type blade, compression cell and a modified Kramer shear-compression cell) were compared to obtain an objective method for texture measurement of whole and chopped peanuts. The modified Kramer shear-compression cell was found to be the most sensitive in measuring textural characteristics of whole peanuts. Objective parameters, force and energy, correlated well with subjective parameters resulting from sensory evaluation, crispness and crunchiness (r2 = 0.77 and 0.79), respectively. The coefficients of determination (r2) between whole and chopped peanuts for force and energy were 0.81 and 0.72, respectively; which suggested that the modified Kramer shear-compression cell can be used to evaluate the textural quality of chopped peanuts.

Autolytic Activity

The effect of bovine plasma protein (BPP) on the inhibition of autolytic activity and its effect on the gelling properties of a protein concentrate (PC) obtained from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle were investigated. Sols and gels were prepared from the PC by adding different amounts of BPP (0, 1, and 2%). Dynamic oscillatory measurements indicated that systems with 1% BPP had a higher elastic modulus (G′), in which hydrophobic interactions were favored. Concerning the technological and textural quality of the gels, BPP caused a greater water holding capacity (WHC), force, cohesiveness, and elasticity, probably due to improvement of the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions during gel formation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) allowed visualization of the formation of more rigid and ordered gels with less porosity when BPP was added. Therefore, the addition of BPP improved the gelling capacity of proteins extracted from giant squid.
