Varieties of vegetable oil affected the expressible water of gels.Surimi gels with peanut oil showed the lowest expressible waterwhile that with corn oil had the highest expressible water (Fig. 2). Itwas coincident with the trend of breaking force of surimi gels withdifferent vegetable oils (Fig. 1). The difference of expressible wateramong these samples was possibly related to their differentamounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
