ABSTRACT

With the improvement of human living standards, people prefer to eat some new kind of meat product. Thus making high quality meat products is becoming a necessary trend for the future. Fish balls are just a new kind of meat product and the most popular fish ball is the cuttlefish ball [1-3]. However, there is no auricular on sale. The components in fish balls are poor and the nutrition quality is poorer. Fish balls are important for food products in terms of nutritional properties [4], and they are a kind of flexible health care food. Mixing cuttlefish and auricular together in a fish ball could offer nutritional and health benefits as well as being delicious and also could enrich the quality of fish balls [5-7]. This thesis, through the equipment parameters optimization of the technology of fish balls, will ensure that the auricular has much better flavour than other fish.
