This work investigated the effects of different additions of water-soluble citrus fiber (SCF) and water-insoluble citrus fiber (ICF) on the gel properties of the mutton myofibrillar protein (MP). The key parameters of water-holding capacity (WHC), rheological properties, and microstructure were evaluated. The addition of 2.5-10% of SCF and ICF significantly improved ( < 0.05) the WHC and gel strength of mutton MP gel. The rheological results showed that the viscoelasticity of MP with 5% SCF was the best, and the T relaxation time of the gel was significantly shortened. SEM results showed SCF reduced the number of pores in the MP gel, forming a more compact network structure. ICF stabilized the MP gel network structure as a filler after water absorption and expansion. However, the gel lost moisture under the action of strong external force (freeze-drying), which left large pores. These data confirmed that SCF and ICF could effectively improve the gel properties of meat products.
本研究考察了不同添加量的水溶性柑橘纤维（SCF）和水不溶性柑橘纤维（ICF）对羊肉肌原纤维蛋白（MP）凝胶特性的影响。评估了持水能力（WHC）、流变学特性和微观结构等关键参数。添加2.5% - 10%的SCF和ICF可显著提高（<0.05）羊肉MP凝胶的WHC和凝胶强度。流变学结果表明，添加5% SCF的MP的粘弹性最佳，凝胶的T2弛豫时间显著缩短。扫描电子显微镜（SEM）结果显示，SCF减少了MP凝胶中的孔隙数量，形成了更致密的网络结构。ICF吸水膨胀后作为填充剂稳定了MP凝胶网络结构。然而，在强外力（冷冻干燥）作用下凝胶失去水分，留下大孔隙。这些数据证实，SCF和ICF可有效改善肉制品的凝胶特性。
