DSC measurements were carried out using a Netzsch DSC 200PC
(Netzsch, Bavaria, Germany). Surimi paste (approximately 15 mg)
was sealed in an aluminum pan, and an additional empty pan was
used as reference. The scan temperature was set according to the
manufacturer's instructions from 10 C to 120 C at a rate of 10 C/
min. The thermograms are reported as average values of three independent
replicates.
