To improve the gelation performance of konjac glucomannan (KGM) thermo-irreversible gel in the condition of alkaline, this study investigated the interactions between KGM and curdlan (CUD) in terms of the sol state and gelation process. The apparent viscosity, rheological properties during heating and cooling, thermodynamic properties, gelation properties and water holding capacity of KGM/CUD blend systems in an alkaline environment were studied using physical property testing instruments and methods. The results showed that the viscosity of the KGM/CUD blended solution was greater than the value calculated from the ideal mixing rules in the condition of alkaline (pH = 10.58). As the proportion of CUD in the system increased, the intersection of storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”) shifted to low frequencies, the relaxation time gradually increased, and the degree of entanglement of molecular chains between these two components gradually increased. The addition of CUD helped decrease the gelation temperature of KGM, increased the gelation rate and inhibited the thinning phenomenon of KGM gels at low temperatures (2–20 °C). The addition of CUD increased the hardness and gel strength of KGM but did not significantly improve the water holding capacity of the KGM/CUD blend gel. The process of mixing KGM and CUD improved the thermal stability of the gel. In summary, KGM/CUD exhibited excellent compatibility under alkaline conditions, and the blend systems produced a “viscosifying effect”. KC8 and KC5 show better thermal stability, low temperature resistance and gel strength compared to KGM. This blended gel can be used as a structural support material to provide reference for the development of konjac bionic vegetarian products.

The influence of temperature and pH on solubility, water-holding capacity (WHC) and stability of polypeptide from camellia seed meal were studied. The polypeptide was extracted from camellia seed meal by trypsin after ultrasonic pretreatment, with a degree of hydrolysis (DH) of 21.69%. At this DH, the camellia seed meal polypeptide (CSMP) has better solubility and WHC with a proper higher temperature or when its pH deviates from the isoelectric point. Moreover, the CSMP would not agglutinate in alkaline range even though it is heated to 121°C, and after storing under the condition of -18°C for a month, it would not precipitate after thawing. The results show that the CSMP has great solubility and WHC in both acidic and alkaline conditions, as well as good thermal stability and freezing storage stability in alkaline range.

Kekian is a processed product from fish meat added with seasoning, fillers and binders then formed and wrapped with tofu skin. Kekian has a low dietary fiber so that the addition of seaweed porridge can be used to increase the content of dietary fiber in kekian. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding different seaweed porridge (Eucheuma cottonii) to characteristics of manyung (Arius thalassinus) kekian and determine the best seaweed porridge to the best kekian fish characteristics. The research method used was experimental laboratories using a completely randomized design of one factor is concentration of the addition of porridge (0%, 20%, 30% and 40%) with 3 replications. Sensory value data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test, while tests of dietary fiber, air content, protein content, water holding capacity and gel strength were analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that the difference in the addition of seaweed porridge had a significant effect (P <0.05) on sensory values, dietary fiber, water content, protein content, water holding capacity and gel strength. Manyung kekian with the addition of E. cottonii porridge 20% is the best product with quality criteria: sensory of 7.61 <µ <7.86, dietary fiber of 6.03%, water content of 69.31%, protein content by 11.49%, Water Holding Capacity by 39.69% and gel strength by 773.82 kgf.

Carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a freshwater fish with high economic value and good farming potential. Carp-based product diversification could be done by using it as food ingredients such as surimi in sausage manufacture. This research was aimed to evaluate sausage produced from carp surimi by varying washing frequency and tapioca filler concentration. Five washing frequencies (1; 2; 3; and 4 times) and three tapioca filler concentrations (2; 3; and 4%) were compared. The study showed 1 time washing frequency gave better surimi physical characteristics (57.40% yield; 73.76% water holding capacity; 26.64% expressible moisture content, 821.92 g.cm gel strength; 54.45% whiteness) and chemical characteristic (78.00% moisture content and 6.34% salt soluble protein) compared to other washing frequencies. Based on the organoleptic test, 2% tapioca was the selected filler concentration. Selected surimi sausage had better physical, chemical and sensori characteristics than commercial sausage. The physical characteristics of the selected sausage were 70.46% water holding capacity; 24.58% expressible moisture content; 78.64% whiteness; 4346.70 g.cm gel strength; 101.23 g hardness; 0.98 g springiness; and 43.96 g chewiness. While the chemical characteristics of that sausage were 75% water; 1.35% ash; 11.51% protein; 4.46% fat; and 7.63% carbohydrate. The sensory scores of the sausage evaluated were color 0.44, aroma 0.60; taste 1.16; and springiness 1.86.

Konjac glucomannan has potential applications in bio-printing, due to its unique properties, such as high viscosity, water-holding capacity and easy gelatinization. In this study, the rheological properties, i.e. the viscosity with changing the shear rate and the storage modulus G’ and loss modulus G’’ curve, of different concentrations of konjac gum hydrogel, were thoroughly measured. Furthermore, the pore sizes of various concentrated konjac gum hydrogel were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The bio-printability of konjac gum hydrogel was thoroughly evaluated using piston-type 3D bio-printer. It was showed that, 7% konjac gum hydrogel demonstrated the best bio-printability, which has potentially applied as scaffold materials in bio-printing field.
