Surimi Processing Technology

Surimi processing consists of several stages. In general, there are four steps used in the manufacture of surimi. The four stages are 1) the separation of fish meat, 2) washing with water, 3) the addition of cryoprotectants and 4) freezing. The most important part of the process of making surimi is laundering. An important benefit derived from washing in surimi production is the increasing ability of meat to form a gel with increasing concentration and decreasing aktomiosin sarkoplasma proteins that inhibit the formation of the gel, and produces surimi colorless (colourless) and odorless ( oudourless).
