ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the production of hydrated concentrates of myofibrillar proteins from fish flesh which are commonly known as surimi-base or, more generally, intermediate food products (I.F.P.). The inventive production method comprises the following successive steps: (1) initial minced fish flesh is prepared from fish fillets; (2) said initial mince is washed with water until a washed mince is obtained which contains a residual fraction of sarcoplasmic proteins and lipids of between 0.1 and 3% of the weight of the mince; (3) while wet, the washed mince is refined by eliminating a fraction of impurities; (4) the refined mince is mixed until an even emulsion mince is produced; (6) the emulsified mince is drained so as to produce a densified mince; (7) cryoprotectants are then added to the densified mince in order to form a final freezable mince; (8) the final mince is packed in nutrient plates; and (9) said plates are frozen. In this way, a quality I.F.P is obtained with a significantly increased production yield in relation to the prior art, particularly for fatty fish.
