The comparative effects of water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions on the physicochemical characteristics of silver carp surimi gels were investigated. The breaking force of surimi gels was 188.72 g, which decreased with increasing W/O emulsion but remained constant by adding O/W emulsion. The hardness decreased with increasing W/O emulsion, while the other parameters to TPA maintained constant whether the W/O or O/W emulsion was added. The yellowness value of surimi gels was 1.30, which increased with increasing W/O emulsion while remained constant after adding O/W emulsion. The water-holding capacity of surimi gels was invariant when emulsions increased. After emulsions added to surimi gels, no changes in the surimi protein interactions were found in electrophoretic patterns and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The increasing W/O emulsion enlarged the droplet size of oil and then destroyed the surimi gel network structure, while the oil droplets were evenly dispersed with increasing O/W emulsion.

Gelation and gel properties are crucial to surimi-based seafood products, and many factors significantly influence surimi gel quality. Although physical and chemical modifications can improve surimi gel performance, challenges such as high cost, difficulties in industrialization and environmental pollution pose significant barriers to their practicality. Natural additives offer a promising alternative by reinforcing and improving the characteristics of surimi gel through mechanisms such as protein conformational transformation, protein denaturation, and altered chemical forces.

In this study, silver carp surimi products enriched with Antarctic krill oil high internal phase emulsions (AKO-HIPEs) were cooked using steaming (STE), microwave heating (MIC), and air-frying (AIR), respectively. The gel and flavor properties, lipid quality and stability were investigated. Compared to the MIC and AIR groups, the STE surimi gel added with HIPEs had better texture properties, exhibiting higher water-holding capacity and a more homogeneous structure, while the air-frying treatment resulted in visually brighter surimi products.

The application of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as cryoprotectants in frozen foods has rarely been explored. In this study, the cryoprotective effect of CNF (2, 4 and 6 % w/w) on mechanically separated chicken meat (MSCM) surimi-like material was investigated, during frozen storage (5 and 60 days) under temperature fluctuation. Surimi-like without cryopreservation agents was more susceptible to protein oxidation due to ice recrystallization.
