| Summary: | ABSTRACT Coagulated protein obtained from alkali extraction and acid precipitation from an abundant and inexpensive Maine Shrimp ( Pandalus borealis ) was packed in disc and cylindrical containers and freeze textured. A more pronounced fibrous formation was found at lower freezing rates, and the samples were harder. While disc samples exhibited randomized fibrous alignment, cylindrical samples had a continuous fiber development along their longitudinal axis which, at lower freezing rates, was similar to red meat muscle alignment; in case of higher freezing rate, the fiber simulated that of the poultry meat. Choosing a freezing rate would rely on the natural counterparts to be simulated. Morphological examination had depicted significant differences which contributed to the variations in texture, moisture, and color. |
