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 />
