Summary

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with concentrations of 0–0.03% was added to manufacture surimi gels, respectively, while effects on gel quality and storage properties indicators during freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles were investigated. The results implied that the gel quality and storage properties of surimi gels added without EGCG were seriously destroyed during F-T cycles. The addition of EGCG could inhibit the decline of texture and gel strength. Moreover, EGCG has effect on inhibiting the microbial growth and the formation of off-odor compounds such as total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and water-holding capacity (WHC) results showed that immobilized water migrated to free water with the extension of F-T cycles. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) observed denser protein networks and smaller holes from the surimi gels added with EGCG. However, excessive (0.03%) EGCG showed the loose network structure and moisture loss. Overall, EGCG in 0.01–0.02% addition was good for resisting damage of surimi gels during F-T cycles.
