Salt or salt substitute at 0 (control), 0.17, 0.34, and 0.51 mol/L was added to surimi. Addition of salt and salt substitute at 0.17 and 0.34 mol/L enhanced (P < 0.05) gel texture. However, the enhancement was generally better with salt. Gel whiteness
decreased (P < 0.05) for surimi with salt at 0.34 and 0.51 mol/L and salt substitute at 0.51 mol/L. Salt and salt substitute lowered (P < 0.05) lightness (L*) and generally reduced redness (a*) and yellowness (b*).
