this hindered the surimi protein’s access to enough water in order to form a threedimensional gel network. Therefore, the least textural values were observed in the USP containing fingers with more swelling ability and affinity to water.The similar influence of soluble dietary fiber addition on the TPA parameters and the shear force of meat products has been reported by Selgas et al. (2005), and Pinero et al. (2008), respectively. However, the addition of powdered Himantalia elongata, Porphyra umbilicalis and Undaria pinnatifida (25 g kg-1 and 50 g kg-1) increased (P 0.05) the hardness and chewiness of low-salt meat emulsion (Cofrades et al. 2008).During the frozen storage period, a gradual hardening effect was observed in the control treatment (P.05). The effects of storage time on other textural parameters were small (P [ 0.05). The hardening effect of frozen storage has been mainly attributed to the chemical and structural changes in myofibrillar protein during storage, which results in the toughening of fish fingers (Lopez- Lopez et al. 2010). Due to the moisture retention ability of fibers, there were no changes in the hardness of Tsw and Tsp during this period (P [ 0.05). Moreover, Maqsood et al. (2012) pointed to the protective effect of antioxidants on the structural properties of final product through main- taining the integrity of muscle fibers and reducing the moisture loss.
