Course Descriptions:

This 3 days course is designed for practicing surimi technician/technologists (QC/ R&D), operators, and marketers who wish to develop a pragmatic knowledge of surimi technology and its utilization in food product development. This course will review the chemistry, microbiology, rheology of surimi and the functional applicability of surimi additives like cryoprotectants, enzyme inhibitors, binders, fillers, colorings, and flavorings. In addition to lecture program, there will be hands-on practice and experiments (in two groups by English and Thai).  This program should be of particular value to surimi technicians, technologists, and engineers, who are operating and developing the processes for surimi and surimi seafood. A certification will be provided for attendees.

DAY TWO - Thursday, November 25, 2010

 

09:00 - 9:45               Surimi Quality Measurement for Better Quality Control
                                    (Dr. Jae Park, Oregon State University)

The value of surimi is determined primarily by the textural quality. Application of the most accurate gel preparation and gel analysis is a short cut to get the most value of surimi you produce (or you use).  Dr. Park will review the most common conventional gel preparation and analysis methods and further suggest better ways for accurate quality assessment.

 

09:45 - 10:20             Color System for Surimi Seafood
                                   
(Mr. So Kee Kok, Activ International, Malaysia)

Red is beautiful.  Natural red colorants primarily from carmine and monascus will be discussed including how they are manufactured and how they can be utilized for the best result.

 

10:20 – 10:50            Magic Role of Transglutaminase (TGase) in Surimi (Science behind and diversified usage)

Ms. Akiko Maruyama (Ajinomoto Co, Tokyo, Japan)

Discovering the role of transglutaminase (TGase) was one of the greatest technology evolutions in modern surimi. Initially transglutmase was considered to be effective only in setting products such as Kamaboko.  However, transglutaminase is used in various surimi products with breakthrough technologies which has been developed later.  Science behind transglutaminase enzyme itself and application technologies maximizing its function and future possibility will be discussed.  

 

10:50 – 11:10            Coffee Break (Coffee Shop – International Buffet)

 

11:10 - 11:45             Warm Water Species for Their Biochemical Properties and Gelation
(Dr. Jirawat Yongsawatdigul, Asso Professor, Suranaree University of Technology)

The importance of tropical fish as a resource for surimi production is getting to be realized year after year.  They now cover the majority resource for global surimi production. Understanding the difference and the uniqueness of tropical species is extremely desired. 

 

11:45 - 12:20             Test Gel Cooking by Ohmic (Joule) Heat: Better Utilization, More Value, and Accurate Analysis of Surimi

Dr. Jae Park (Professor, Oregon State University, Astoria, OR)

In global surimi industry, surimi paste has always been cooked in a plastic casing (3 cm diameter) in water bath (90C) for 30-40 min.  It is extremely slow cooking process.  This method does not provide accurate gel values.  In fact the manufacture of crabstick (kanikama), fried surimi (tenpura) and grilled surimi (chikuwa) is done in a very rapid cooking manner.  Except steamed kamaboko and fish sausage, the majority of surimi seafood in the world is cooked very fast.  Our industry certainly uses less accurate data for the manufacture of crabstick, tempura, and chikuwa.  We need to get out of the old fashion and move forward with fast gel cooking for better utilization, more value and accurate gel data. That will assure better quality control and more profit.

 

12:20 - 12:50             Least Cost Blending based on Textural Properties of Surimi Seafood

(Dr. Won Yoon, Asst Professor, Kangwon National University, South Korea)

The production of consistent quality product for texture, color, and flavor is a significant challenge.  Among them the texture is the most significant. Based on the various quality factors (texture, moisture, and other factors), a quality target for finished product must be set. While combining the parameters meet or exceed the target, a variety of surimi can be easily selected for the consistent quality based on the targe, but for the least cost.

 

13:00 - 14:00             Lunch (Coffee Shop – International Buffet)

 

14:00 - 14:20             Functional Properties of Freshwater Surimi

(Dr. Supawan Thawonchinsombut, Asst Prof, Khon Kaen University)

Fresh water surimi is now emerging as a viable resource for surimi seafood globally.  However, studies on fresh water surimi have been limited.  Dr. Supawan is located where plenty of fresh water fish are available in Northeast Thailand.  Her recent study will give a good insight for the utilization of fresh water surimi.

 

14:20 - 14:50             Product Development for Crabstick based on Market Development in France
(Mr. Jean-Luc Beliveau, R&D Director, Alliance Oceane)

Crabstick market development in France is extra ordinarily special.  Outside Japan, the place where you can find a variety of surimi seafood  product is a supermarket in France.  His 25 years industry R&D experience is the history of crabstick in France.

 

14:50 - 15:20             Manufacturing of Fish Ball
(Mr. Norman Kok, Senior Research Scientist, SE Asia Fisheries Research Development Center, Singapore)

Fish ball is extremely popular in SE Asia.  There are some challenges in manufacturing – texture, color, production, and shelf life.  Mr. Kok who studied fish ball on his MS degree study brings his expertise and experience to our audience.

 

15:20 - 15:40             Sorbitol as Effective Cryoprotectant for Tropical Surimi

                                    (Dr. Carl Jaundoo, Technical Director, Roquette America)

Sorbitol, which delivers 60% sweetness of sugar, has been successfully utilized for the cold water surimi production over 20 years.  It improves gel whiteness and frozen storage stability.

 

15:40 - 16:00             Coffee/Tea Break

 

Laboratory Sessions (16:00 - 18:00)
Attendees will be divided into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C.  Each group will have approximately 20-25 people.
