Abstract

Modori-inducing proteinases (MIPs) in horse mackerel and the effect of sodium citrate on the modori phenomenon were investigated. Cysteine protease caused the modori phenomenon only at 60 ℃, while metalloproteinase caused it at both 60 ℃ and 70 ℃. Moreover, the autolysis of myofibrillar proteins was mainly inhibited by ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), verifying the existence of insoluble metalloproteinase. From the results comparing thermal gel properties and protease activities, we confirmed that increased activity of insoluble metalloproteinase corresponded to the weakening of the thermal gel. Thus, insoluble metalloproteinase was the major MIP in horse mackerel. Moreover, sodium citrate could markedly inhibit insoluble metalloproteinase activity at 60 ℃. The addition of sodium citrate significantly improved the breaking force of the thermal gel at 60 ℃ and 70 ℃, suggesting that sodium citrate could suppress the modori phenomenon by inhibiting insoluble metalloproteinase. Therefore, it is desirable to use sodium citrate in horse mackerel surimi-based products to prevent the modori phenomenon.
