The hydrocolloids expanded in cavities of varying morphology. The anionic 5 hydrocolloids were mixed throughout the protein matrix, probably through interaction with the myofibrillar protein. The neutral hydrocolloids were dispersed throughout the matrix but did not interact with it and were located simply by inclusion. The thickening hydrocolloids (locust bean gum, guar gum, xanthan gum, carboxymethylcellulose) formed a mesh of filaments inside the cavities; while the gelling hydrocolloids (carrageenans, alginate) covered or lined the cavity 10 interiors with a continuous structure.
