3.5 Comparison of protein ingredients for injection in fillets<br />

Several studies were performed where different protein ingredients were injected into<br />

white<strong>fish</strong> fillets.<br />

Aim:<br />

3.5.1 Comparison of properties of protein solutions for injection<br />

The properties of selected protein solutions that are important when used for injection in<br />

fillets were compared. The protein solutions investigated were <strong>fish</strong> protein isolate<br />

Box 8<br />

Compare the properties of selected protein ingredients and their influence on injected fillets. The protein<br />

solutions evaluated were <strong>fish</strong> protein hydrolysate (FPH), <strong>fish</strong> protein isolate (FPI), homogenized <strong>fish</strong> protein<br />

(HFP) and gelatin.<br />

Outcome:<br />

• Properties of protein solutions for injection<br />

� FPH contained considerable higher amount of protein and salt than the other ingredients tested.<br />

� FPH and gelatin had lowest viscosity.<br />

� FPI gave less weight loss, high viscosity and relatively high pH compared to the other <strong>fish</strong><br />

protein solutions.<br />

• FPI and FPH injected in fresh and lightly salted cod fillets (frozen).<br />

� Yield of thawed lightly salted fillets increased <strong>by</strong> injection. FPH in fresh fillets gave the highest<br />

yield.<br />

� Protein- and water-yield in fresh and lightly salted fillets increased <strong>by</strong> injection. Water yield was<br />

highest in fresh fillets treated with FPH.<br />

� The FPH improved the colour (whiteness) of fresh fillets.<br />

� The FPH increased WHC in fillets; the water was more firmly bound (higher T 21).<br />

� Injection of <strong>fish</strong> protein solutions in lightly salted cod fillets resulted in shorter cooking time.<br />

� HFP, FPH and gelatin injected in chilled and frozen saithe fillets.<br />

� Yield increased in fillets (fresh and frozen) <strong>by</strong> injection of <strong>fish</strong> protein solutions.<br />

� Adding gelatin, combined with other protein solutions, did not influence the yield.<br />

� Fresh fillets had higher total yield after cooking than the frozen fillets.<br />

� Addition of protein solutions increased drip in the fillets compared to control. FPH increased<br />

drip less than other protein solutions.<br />

� Freezing and the frozen storage reduced the quality of all fillets.<br />

� Least deterioration in yield and water holding capacity during frozen storage was found in fillets<br />

with <strong>added</strong> FPH.<br />

Challenges:<br />

• Documentation of appropriate ingredient with regard to species and type of processed product.<br />

• Optimize methods for addition of ingredients in fillets with regard to species and material condition.
