Effects of κ-Carrageenan on Gel Properties and Microstructure of Unrinsed Nile Tilapia Surimi Gels During Heat-Induced Gelation
Unrinsed surimi production has emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional rinsed surimi due to its substantial water savings, reduced nutrient loss, and lower environmental footprint. However, poor gel strength and water-holding capacity remain major bottlenecks limiting its industrial application. This study...
