Abstract

The effect of surimi gel containing the useful polysaccharides(WSP and CBP) from marine bacterium Zoogloea sp. were investigated. The optimum polysaccharide concentration, pH, and salt concentration of both WSP and CBP were 0.02 %, 7.5 and 1.5 %(w/w), respectively. The properties of surimi gel containing WSP and CBP significantly (p < 0.05) lower than control. The breaking force, whiteness and deformation of surimi gel containing WSP and CBP higher than control.
