Abstract

We investigated the effects of different heating conditions on texture, protein composition, and extract components of red seabream Pagrus major, an important white-fleshed fish species. The heating conditions were set from the perspective of food hygiene. These conditions affected the hardness and sample thickness of the fish muscle, mainly due to the differences in the degree of actin denaturation. We found that 5′-monophosphate levels were not significantly different among the heating conditions. After heat treatment at a low-temperature long-time pasteurization (63 °C for 30 min), inosine and hypoxanthine levels were significantly higher than those after high-temperature heating treatment. Free amino acids showed almost no significant differences after heating. Fish muscle heated at a high-temperature short-time heating (85 °C for 90 s) was harder, had a stronger taste, and was perceived as preferable compared with other heated samples. These findings suggest that appropriate heat treatment conditions exist that make red seabream highly palatable. Moreover, the results suggest that tenderness is less important than other factors, such as taste, when evaluating the palatability of heated red seabream.
