and Tungkawachara (2007) also reported that the SSP and WSP
contents decreased from initial values of 124.02 and 54.86 mg g1
to 95.25 and 40.34 mg g1 at the end of storage, respectively. During
storage, the irradiated fillets showed a significant decrease in
the extractability of salt soluble proteins and thereby total protein
extractability, which was especially evident after 12 days storage
at 4 C (Table 2). The loss of SSP could play an important role in
reducing the gel-forming ability of catfish frame mince used to
make surimi products
