ABSTRACT: The present study examined the changes in texture and protein components during cold storage of different squid varieties. Raw oval squid, Japanese common squid and arrow squid were sliced fresh and the muscles were stored at 4°C for 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 48 and 120 h. The rheological measurements, protein components and amounts of collagen were examined. The adhesiveness of each squid increased significantly in the early stage of cold storage. In all varieties, penetration decreased at 4 h, which is considered to be rigor mortis, then increased. The amounts of total collagen, 20°C water-soluble collagen and 70°C water-soluble collagen did not change significantly in each variety during cold storage. Sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) pattern showed that the 580 kDa component gradually disappeared up to 48 h. The correlations between the amounts of 580 kDa component and adhesiveness or firmness were high. Models of fit based on chemical kinetics accurately expressed the behavior of adhesiveness, firmness and penetration showing that 63.2% of adhesiveness changes occurred in 13–19 h and that 63.2% of firmness changes occurred in 18–24 h.  相似文献

Physicochemical changes of Japanese cockle foot parts occurring during cooking and cold storage at 4°C for 10 days were examined. Raw samples decreased in weight by 27% during cooking at 85°C for 15 s. Both raw and cooked samples decreased in weight to the same extent of 22–23% during the 10-day cold storage. The levels of ATP and related compounds, as well as those of free amino acids, were higher in raw than in cooked samples, although the former were found by sensory evaluation to have a stronger fishy odor. Raw samples started to decrease in ATP content after 5 days of cold storage, showing K' values of 18 and 42% after 5 and 7 days, respectively. The L* value in the Hunter scale color evaluation increased during the cold storage of raw samples, revealing a gradual disappearance of its original purple–gray color. Meanwhile, the L* value of cooked samples remained constant during the cold storage. The tensile strength of cooked samples was significantly higher than those of both raw samples before and after the cold storage, indicating increased toughness by cooking.  相似文献
