Abstract:

The formed silver carp surimi gels with the addition of egg albumin (EA), microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) or both of them were tested for their properties and SDS-PAGE patterns in order to examine the effect of EA on the properties of MTGase-induced silver carp surimi gels. EA or MTGase could significantly improve surimi gel properties. EA inhibited the formation of MTGase-induced surimi gels, and resulted in a noticeable decrease in their gel strength and breaking force, but had no inhibitory effect on cross-linking of myosin heavy chain.

Key words: egg albumin, transglutaminase, surimi gels
