The properties of starch-containing surimi gels after heating (90 C and 120 C) to form a three-dimensional protein network were compared. The addition of modified starches with low viscosity at low temperatures and high viscosity at high temperatures (CHCS and CACS) improved the gel strength, while the starch with a high viscosity at a low
temperature decreased the gel strength (HCS) (P < 0.05). Gel properties of starch-containing surimi were
correlated with the starch viscosity and swelling initiation temperature.
