Changes in SSP as an indicator of progressive denaturation in both sausages during frozen storage are shown in Table 2. Salt-soluble proteins decreased significantly (p 0.05) in DFS, which maintained its SSP content at 37.42% on average throughout 3 months storage, showing a very low impact of storage time on SSP. Protein stability during frozen storage in DFS could be attributed to the positive cryoprotectant effect of added sucrose, as sucrose-sorbitol either alone or as a mixture was found to act as a cryoprotectant in the manufacture of surimi (Mackie 1993).
