that the meat has a higher ability to holdwater, and therefore, it has
greater WHC. This was similar to the present study. If the water
holding capacity of a meat product is low, the meat will lose a larger
amount of water during cooking, leading to production of a drier
product that may be unacceptable to consumers (Park et al., 2013).
This may explain the beneficial effect of adding oat bran to improve
WHC and cooking loss of the surimi products.
