The addition of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) to salted squid muscle paste greatly strengthened the elasticity of the thermal gel, which was produced by the preferential crosslinking of myosin heavy chains through a two-step heating process that consisted of setting at 40 deg C and subsequent heating to 80 deg C or 90 deg C. Starch increased the breaking strength of thermal squid gels, but decreased the deformation. Thus, the starch-added gels became harder and less elastic. Although, when both MTGase and starch were added to squid muscle paste, the changes in viscoelastisity and myosin cross-linking reaction were similar to those with MTGase alone during setting, the storage and loss moduli of the paste sharply increased with an increase in starch content above 70 deg C. Subsequently, the thermal gel texture became more brittle or breakable than gels prepared by setting with MTGase only.
