Abstract: The effect of transglutaminase(TGase) on the gelation of surimi was investigated. Results showed that the dosageof TGase, reaction temperature and reaction time affected the formation of surimi gel significently. When 10 units/g proteinof TGase was added and incubated at 42℃ under natural pH values for 2 hours, the maximal strength of surimi gel was obtainedwith the gel strength two times higher than that without the addition of TGase.

Key words: Transglutaminase , Surimi , Gel Strength
