Abstract:

Salt-soluble protein was extracted from shark muscle under different levels of NaCl concentration, pH, extraction time and was then heated at 40 ℃ for different periods of time in an effort to explore the effects of these extractions and heating time on the water-holding capacity (WHC) and textural characteristics of the formed heat-induced gels. The WHC, hardness, elasticity and cohesiveness of salt-soluble protein gels from shark muscle were positively correlated with NaCl concentration. Heating for 40-60 min at 40 ℃ led to a thorough gelation of salt-soluble protein obtained after 24 h extraction at pH 6.5-7.0 and the formed gels presented optimum WHC and texture characteristics. Forty degrees Celsius was an optimum temperature for the heat-induced gelation of salt-soluble protein. However, increasing heating time led to a higher hardness and a lower WHC.

Key words: shark, salt-soluble protein, extraction conditions, heat-induced gelation, water-holding capacity (WHC), texture characteristics
