In the present paper it was examined as to how the platen temperature of freeze-drying affects the quality of the lyophilized “Kaen-Surimi” made from Alaska pollack, where 2.5% salt, 5% sugar and 5% sorbitol are added.
The freeze-drying, the storage and the quality evaluation of the dried product were carried out employing similar procedures as in the previous papery.
A little quality degradation resulted from lyophilization. However, the properties of all the dried samples were satisfactory until the storage period of 1 month. After storing for 2 months, protein denaturation and degradation of the kamaboko-forming ability of the dried samples were significantly noticed. The lower the platen tem-perature the greater was the degree of these changes. After storing for 3 months the kamaboko-forming ability of all the samples were thoroughly diminished.
It may be concluded from these results that fish meat powder having kamaboko-forming ability could also be made from frozen Alaska pollack “Kaen-Surimi” and could be stored for at least 1 month at room temperature. The high platen tem-perature of 55°C was prefered for the freeze-drying of it.
