type of added thickening agent can increasing the brightness level of the hydrolyzate
base sauce of inferior fish. Stated that CMC particles can enveloping the color of brownish red produced by the
material so the color of sauce produced will be brighter11. This is related to Maillard product that is reaction
which allows the formation of flavor and brown color. The higher concentration of added CMC thickening
hence the higher level of brightness of the produced inferior fish sauce, and vice versa the lower concentration
of added CMC thickening and without the addition of thickening agent so the brightness level of inferior fish
sauce will also reduced (dark)
