Effects of five phosphates, KI and MgCl
2 as jelly-strength reinforcer were comparatively studied by preparing 96 kinds of Kamaboko specimens from raw paste comprising flesh of either
Nibea argentata or
Makaira mazara and starch, starch content of the paste being adjusted to 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% by weight. Sodium salts as tertiary phosphate, pyrophosphate, triphosphate tetraphosphate and hexametaphosphate, potassium iodide and magnesium chloride were used at such amounts that their contents in the paste corresponded to 0.3, 0.3, 0.2, 0.15, 0.2, 0.66 and 1.0%, respectively.
In the following summary of the results and also in the figures appended Kamaboko specimens containing said five kinds of phosphates are represented by symbols Ort., Pyr., Tri., Tet. and Hex., respectively, and those with KI and MgCl
2 by KI and Mg.
I. Results with Kamabokos prepared from frozen flesh of
Nibea argentata:
1) Preparations in this case showed very high pH values (7.17-7.38), while any of the tertiary phosphate, pyrophosphate and triphosphate added had a more or less strong depressive effect on jelly-strength of Kamaboko independent of starch addition, said effect culminating in the case of sodium pyrophosphate.
2) Sodium tetraphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate both doing not produce high alkalinities displayed jelly-strength reinforcing effects in the case of Ort.'s and Hex.'s at 0, 15 and 20% starch contents.
3) Addition of KI or MgCl
2 led to the formation of Kamaboko with elevated jelly-strengths, the jelly-strengths in the presence of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% starch, respectively, being more strongly reinforced by KI than MgCl
2.
4) As to the reinforecement effected by starch addition, specimens with largest jelly-strengths were always given rise to when the starch contents thereof were equally 10%, independent of the kind of added salt.
II. Results with Kamabokos prepared from frozen flesh of
Makaira mazara.
1) The specimens showed considerably low pH values (5.90-6.20). Any of said seven salts was more or less effective in elevating the jelly-strength when Kamabokos were prepared in the presence of 0, 5, 10 and 25% starch, while, to say in addition, Pyr.'s and Tet.'s proved to be especially reinforced in jelly-strength at starch contents of 20 and 15%, respectively.
2) Addition of KI or MgCl
2 caused the raw flesh of
Makaira mazara to be manufactured into Kamabokos with considerably elevated jelly-strengths. In the case of Kamabokos with 0, 5 and 10% starch, KI and MgCl
2 were almost of an equal effect, while KI was superior in said effect to MgCl
2 in the case of Kamabokos at 15, 20% starch contents.
From these results, it may be said in general that polyphosphates of sodium exert their effect of elevating Kamaboko jelly-strength more strongly in the presence than in the absence of added starch.
