Protein patterns of MTG-mediated MP mixture prepared at 1.8 and 2.6 g/100 g NaCl were not different (Fig. 2C).
These results also supported the fact that 1.8 g/100 g NaCl was enough to solubilize fish MP, thus ensuring gel formation as well as providing readily accessible substrate for the MTG.
Therefore, reduction of NaCl to 1.8 g/100 g would be possible without affecting the gelation process.
This would be the alternative way to reduce the salt content in fish protein gel.
