2.6.4 Properties of <strong>fish</strong> cakes with <strong>added</strong> <strong>fish</strong> powders<br />
2.6.4.1 Frying yield<br />
Frying yield (%) was calculated as the weight of fried <strong>fish</strong> cake over weight of mince before<br />
frying. Average value was calculated from the four replicates.<br />
2.6.4.2 Colour measurements<br />
Colour measurements were made using a Minolta Chroma Meter CR-200/CR231. L<br />
(lightness), a (redness) and b (yellowness) of the dry powders were recorded. Measurements<br />
were performed in quadruplets.<br />
2.6.4.3 Texture<br />
Textural properties were measured with a Stevens-LFRA Texture analyser equipped with flat-<br />
ended cylinder plunger (diameter 13mm) – pressure test and cone shaped plunger for cutting<br />
test. Speed of loading was set at 0.5mm/sec for flat-ended cylinder plunger and 2mm/sec for<br />
cone shaped plunger. Flat-ended cylinder plunger was pressed 0.7 cm into the sample, cone<br />
shaped plunger – 1cm. Eight measurements (4*2) were run for each batch of <strong>fish</strong> cakes.<br />
2.6.4.4 Water Holding Capacity (WHC)<br />
Low Speed Centrifugation method was used for measuring the WHC of fried <strong>fish</strong> cakes.<br />
Water-holding capacity (WHC) was determined as described <strong>by</strong> Eide et al. (1982) with the<br />
exception that a centrifugal force of 300*g was used instead of 1500*g. The WHC is<br />
expressed as the percentage of water retained in the mince. The test was performed in<br />
quadruplicate.<br />
2.6.5 Analysis of <strong>fish</strong> cakes<br />
2.6.5.1 Frying yield<br />
The frying yield was determined <strong>by</strong> weighing the <strong>fish</strong> patties before and after frying.<br />
