To clarify the contribution of polymerization of myosin heavy chain (MHC) by disul fide bonding to increased gel strength of cooked gel via preheating, the pastes of walleye pollack surimi (SS and C grades) were preheated at 25 deg C and 40 deg C for a variety of hours prior to heating at 80 deg C for 20 min. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) patterns of cooked gels were analyzed with and without reducing the samples, which were solubilized in 8 M urea-2% SDS solution. The formation of polymers by disulfide bonding in cooked gels was almost constant in each of the SS and C grade surimi gels despite the period of preheating. Therefore, it was suggested that polymerization by disulfide bonding occurred during cooking at 80 deg C and not during preheating.
