Abstract

Grass carp surimi was chosen as the research object to investigate the effect of Puerarin powder on the quality of fish surimi with water holding capacity, folding strength, hardness, elasticity and sense as indexes. The results showed that 6.0% Puerarin powder was added after adding antifreeze agent, which made the water-holding reached up to the highest value with the method of two-stage heating. The level of gel folding strength improved to class B at concentration varying from 2.0 to 8.0%, and when the Puerarin powder concentration attached to 8.0%, the textural characteristics was excellent and the sensory quality was of the highest.
