Elastic behavior in both cases of extension and compression of kamaboko was expressed well in application of the rubber elasticity theory. That is, the relation between stress and strain of kamaboko which does not contain starch is given to a first approximation by the equation
ƒ=K(α-α-2),
where ƒ(dyn/cm2), is the stress, α is the extension ratio and K(dyn/cm2) is one-third of the initial Young's modulus. This relation does not depend upon the kinds of raw fish or the moisture content of kamaboko.
