The effects of salting and subsequent freezing on the physicochemical and histological properties of frozen-thawed tuna meat were investigated. Salting facilitated the microstructural recovery as indicated by the decrease or disappearance of intracellular holes. The yield of the 0.5 M and 1 M salted samples increased by 20% which was evaluated by the mass ratio of products to raw material. Morphological transformation from ice columns to spherical or ellipsoidal ice crystals was tentatively attributed to the extraction/solubilization of myofibrillar proteins, contributing to increased water-holding capacity. However, increased thawing loss and centrifuging loss after thawing were observed in the 2 M and 3 M salted samples with large ice crystals and enlarged extracellular spaces. These modifications were closely associated with the changes in protein properties. In conclusion, enhanced water-holding capacity, high yield, and good freezing stability can be achieved by optimal salting.
研究了盐腌及随后冷冻对金枪鱼鱼肉的理化和组织学特性的影响。盐腌有助于微观结构的恢复,这表现为细胞内孔的减少或消失。0.5M 和 1M 盐腌样品的产率增加了 20%,这是通过产物与原料的质量比来评估的。从冰柱到球形或椭圆形冰晶的形态转变,可能归因于肌原纤维蛋白的提取/溶解,从而提高了保水性。然而,在 2M 和 3M 盐腌样品中,由于冰晶较大和细胞外空间扩大,解冻后出现了更高的解冻损失和离心损失。这些变化与蛋白质特性的变化密切相关。总之,通过最佳盐腌可以实现保水性增强、高产量和良好的冷冻稳定性。
