A preferred composition comprises fish protein com fresh pasta - like edible products , especially ready -to - eat 20 bined with guar gum . In an embodiment, odor, taste , texture , fresh pasta - like products made of fish , fish products and and color modifying ingredients are added , including for Surimi and to methods of manufacture of same. example a plant protein , ethyl maltol, salt , egg White , calcium carbonate , glycine , and / or polyphosphate . BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Roll B . J . et al. , How flavour and appearance affect human 25 feeding . Proc . Nutr. SOC . (1982 ), 41, 109 argues that Fish and fish products are consumed all over the world . appearance of food can vary is in its shape . Changes in shape With other seafood ' s , it provides the world ' s prime source of also alter the feel of food in the mouth and it is known that high - quality protein 14 to 16 percent of the animal protein food consistency and bite size determine the jaw movements consumed worldwide . Over one billion people rely on fish as during feeding , see Thexton , A . J . , Hiiemae , K . M . & their primary source of animal protein . 30 Crompton , A . W . ( 1980 ) . J . Neurophysiol. 44 ,456 . It has Fish and other aquatic organisms are also processed into been suggested that the muscle and neural activity associ various food and non - food products . ated with mastication play an important role in food pref Fish and fish products are versatile and may be minced , erence and may affect the amount of food eaten . The shape frozen , chopped , formed , cooked , fermented , boiled , fried , and size of food pellets offered to rats have been found to breaded and processed in many ways . 35 affect food intake , see Tarozzi, G ., Di Bella , L . , Scalera, G . Surimi is a paste made by fish or other meat , as well as & Rossi, M . T .

It is available in many shapes, forms, and textures, and Fluid Intake , Warsaw . To determine whether shape is also an often used to mimic the texture and color of the meat of important influence on feeding in humans, Roll et al .
