Abstract:

Gel properties of myofibrillar protein is the important features of meat and meat products, which could affect texture, emulsion, water holding capability, and sensory characteristics of meat products. This paper introduced the formation mechanism of protein gel, and emphatically discussed the affecting factors of gel formation, hoping to provide some scientific basas for producing high quality meat products.

Key words: myofibrillar protein, gel, affecting factor
