RESUMO
The effect of a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) on three-dimensional-printed surimi gel inks was studied. Increasing the concentration of collagen peptide decreased the particle size of HIPE droplets and improved the viscoelasticity and stability. For example, when the collagen peptide concentration was 5 wt%, the viscoelasticity of the HIPE was high, as indicated by the presence of small and uniform particles, which formed a monolayer in the outer layer of the oil droplets to form stable a HIPE. A HIPE was used as the filling material to fill the surimi gel network, which reduced the porosity of the network. Surimi protein and peptides have dual emulsifying effects on the stabilization of oil. After adding the emulsion, the texture, gel properties and rheological properties of the surimi were reduced, and its printing adaptability was improved. This study provides new ideas for the production of surimi and its application in 3D printing.
