ABSTRACT

The gel-forming ability of rohu (Labeo rohita) mince with and without egg white powder (EW) was investigated. Gel from washed mince (washed gel) was prepared under two setting conditions: kamaboko (40°C) and modori (60°C). The gel-forming ability of kamaboko and modori gels was improved by the addition of EW at 2%. The autolytic inhibition of kamaboko gel was obtained in gel added with 2% EW, and 1% EW of modori gel. No marked change was observed in the TCA-soluble peptide content of either gel with the addition of EW above 1%. No effect on the whiteness of both gels was shown after the addition of EW. The addition of EW exhibited smaller cavities and a more compact fibrous network in microstructure.
