Abstract
One of the uses of thermally stable dispersions of fish myofibrillar proteins is as edible film. A modified method of preparation of thermostable dispersions was developed which involves acidification of meat water homogenate.The dispersions were cast in glass trays and dried in an oven at 50 degree C. Dried dispersions yielded light yellow translucent films with good flexibility. The films become brittle if dried further or stored at low humidity. Heating the dispersions prior to casting excluded air bubbles and thus improved the quality of films.
