Abstract
- The use of egg white powder (EWP) to enhance the physicochemical properties, molecular structure, and thermal stability of Decapterus maruadsi mince gels was investigated. The thermal stability was analyzed by adding spray-dried EWP (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1%) to the mince, and mince gels were prepared to study the changes in their fracture constant, water distribution, microstructure, and protein conformation of mince gels. In addition, the stress-strain curve of the EWP-mince gel was measured to obtain its compressive modulus (E). The formation of the mince gel was promoted by EWP, and the whiteness, fracture constant, water-holding capacity (WHC), and immobilized water were all enhanced. At 0.8% addition of EWP, the fracture constant increased from 176.715 ± 2.463 N/m to 348.631 ± 3.144 N/m (p .05), which was a nearly twofold improvement. Additionally, the WHC increased from 75.21% to 79.99%, and the percentage of immobilized water increased from 94.03% to 94.91%. The EWP-mince gel network structure was the most uniform and dense, and there were increases in hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, β-sheets, and β-turns in mince gels, as well as the storage modulus (G') and enthalpy (ΔH). In contrast to the control group, the relative content of α-helixes decreased from 53.34% to 37.09% and transformed into other secondary structures, and the bulk water and cooking loss also decreased to 2.41% and 8.51%, respectively. Consequently, EWP effectively improved the quality of mince products, and the effect was most apparent when 0.8% was added.
