production of <strong>fish</strong> cakes. The reference samples were made <strong>by</strong> substituting protein powders<br />

part <strong>by</strong> potato flour. The results showed that potato flour plays important roles for colour,<br />

texture and WHC of the final <strong>products</strong>. Compared to FPH powders addition of potato flour<br />

gave lighter and firmer <strong>fish</strong> cakes with very high water holding capacity. However, too firm<br />

(hard) and dry <strong>fish</strong> cakes would not be accepted <strong>by</strong> consumers. Addition of FPH powder<br />

enriches <strong>fish</strong> cakes with proteins (FPH contains approx. 85% protein). At the same time <strong>fish</strong><br />

cakes made with FPH had similar frying yield 15 as <strong>fish</strong> cakes made with potato flour.<br />

Figure 3.12. Fish cakes made with addition of FPH.<br />

The different FPH tested gave variations in frying yield of <strong>fish</strong> cakes (lean model), this was<br />

however not found to be due to differences in water loss, but was due to differences in fat<br />

absorption. Fat absorption of the <strong>fish</strong> cakes was shown to be related to the emulsifying<br />

properties of the <strong>added</strong> powder. Little differences was found between FPH in respect to water<br />

holding capacity, but higher DH gave a lower WHC. The different salt content of the <strong>fish</strong><br />

cakes, caused <strong>by</strong> different salt content of the hydrolysates, has been proven to have a crucial<br />

impact on the results for most analysis of functional properties. In order to examine how<br />

<strong>added</strong> <strong>fish</strong> powders influence adsorption of oil into the <strong>fish</strong> cakes during frying, the nuclear<br />

magnetic imaging (MRI) technique was used. The obtained images were descriptive and the<br />

adsorbed oil was clearly visualized, however, differences between the individual <strong>added</strong><br />

powders were not large enough to define significant differences between the powders.<br />

15 The frying yield was determined <strong>by</strong> weighing the <strong>fish</strong> patties before and after frying<br />
