The effect of fish gelatin on the color attributes of grade FA surimi gels is also shown in Table 1. Adding fish gelatin did not
show a specific pattern in modifying the L* and C* attributes but affected significantly (P 0.05) the a* and b* parameters and the H* attribute. Increasing the amount of fish gelatin increased the values of the a* and b* parameters and decreased significantly (P 0.05) the H* attribute indicating an increase in the yellowish color of surimi gels. One important attribute for surimi gels is whiteness. In this study, whiteness attribute as affected by increasing the fish gelatin was detected instrumentally but it was not observed by sensory panelists.
