Surimi Preparation -
What is Surimi & how do they make it? Originating
in Japan several centuries ago, surimi is a uniquely functional
food ingredient made of fish proteins and used in surimi seafood
products. Surimi consists of fish proteins that are refined
through heading, gutting and mincing the fish, then washing,
removing water, and freezing the remaining protein. Good quality
surimi is odorless and has a creamy white appearance. Surimi has
excellent gelling properties so that it can be formed into
various shapes. The US is the leading country for the production
of surimi. Alaska pollock is most often used followed by Pacific
whiting in the manufacture of surimi. |
