which disrupts the hydrogen bonds stabilizing the native protein structure (Privalov & Khechinashvili, 1974).In order to understand the kinetics of the KGM-induced changes in
the conformational stability of the surimi protein, DSC was used to detect the endothermic peaks representing the protein’s heat uptake, which was required to break the hydrogen bonds and gradually unfold the stable three-dimensional structure of the protein into its denatured structure
