Abstract: | Permeability of Na-gluconate, Na-malate and Na-acetate into fish-meat strips by soaking, and their osmotic dehydrating effects were investigated in comparison with those of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sorbitol. Carboxylic acids, anion species of carboxylates, were less permeable into soaked meats than chlorine of NaCl, and their permeability was similar to that of sorbitol. However, the permeation of sodium, cation species of the carboxylates and NaCl, was promoted with the concentration of free sodium ion dissociated in soaking solutions. The ratio of sodium to the anion species in soaked meats was varied, depending on the numbers of the sodium atom in the molecules as well as the dissociation degree of the ionic compounds in the soaking solution. Furthermore, the osmotic dehydrating effects of Na-gluconate and Na-malate were analogous with that of sorbitol, and higher than those of NaCl and Na-acetate. These results indicated that the permeation characteristics and the osmotic dehydrating effects of the carboxylates were associated with their ionization in soaking solution as well as their molecular weights. |
