Two different methods were employed to determine texture:
Kramer shear test and texture profile analysis (TPA). Although these
texture measurements are commonly employed for determination
of textural properties, each method provides slightly different information.
The most comprehensive understanding of textural
properties is provided by a combination of these methods. Kramer
shear force and TPA are considered empirical tests that are often
used to evaluate texture properties of gelled meat products
including surimi-based seafood Therefore,
these two different tests were employed in the present study.
