Research on Application of Compound Thickener in High-Temperature Sterilized Fish Cake
High-temperature sterilization treatment can help prolong the storage time of fish cake at room temperature,but high-temperature sterilization treatment will have a negative effect on the quality of fish cake,while the addition of compound thickener can effectively improve the adverse effects caused by high-temperature sterilization.In this study,with the color,flavor and texture characteristics,etc.as the sensory evaluation indexes,the formula of high-temperature sterilized fish cake is optimized by orthogonal test.The results show that when the formula of auxiliary materials is ice water 17.5%,compound thickener 0.5%and fat 5%,the quality of high-temperature sterilized fish cake is the best.The results of texture characteristics such as hardness,elasticity,cohesion,chewiness as well as water holding capacity and water distribution show that the addition of compound thickener could help slow down the quality deterioration of fish cake after high-temperature sterilization.The results of electronic tongue radar map and PCA show that the addition of compound thickener can help improve the flavor of high-temperature sterilized fish cake.The results of accelerated storage test show that the high-temperature sterilized fish cake added with compound thickener has a longer shelf life at room temperature,and has good texture and flavor characteristics.
