Alaska pollock (AP) surimi paste was prepared (0–3% salt and 76–84% moisture). The density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity were measured and modelled in temperatures between 25 and 90 °C (R² > 0.92). The thermal diffusivity (α) function showed a strong dependence on the moisture content and a unique salt dependence at 84% of the moisture content and applied to the heat transfer simulation of surimi paste. The simulation model coupled with the empirical thermal properties accurately predicted the heat penetration curves during heating with RMSE values ranging from 0.43 to 1.22 °C. The salt dependence on thermal diffusivity was identified and modeled only at 84% moisture content. With a model for 84% moisture content, the RMSE value of 3% salt content decreased from 1.11 °C to 0.56 °C. This study demonstrated that an accurate prediction of the heat transfer of the surimi paste needs to be coupled with the nonlinear thermal diffusivity functions.
