Abstrakt: The protein structure, gel changes, and chewing properties of low-sodium myofibrillar protein (MP) prepared by compound chloride salts (KCl/MgCl 2 , KCl/CaCl 2 , and KCl/MgCl 2 /CaCl 2 ) and different substitution degrees (10%, 25%, and 40%) at same ionic strength (0.6 M) were investigated. The results revealed that the low-sodium MP gels containing CaCl 2 manifested more liquid loss and less moisture content accompanied by obvious morphological shrinkage, while KCl/MgCl 2 contributed to the gel juiciness. At high substitution degree of 40%, KCl/CaCl 2 substitution rendered the gel with dense structure and highest strength, but worse water retention capacity. Using other compound chloride salts influenced the chewing efficiency, and CaCl 2 substitution made the gel relatively hard to chew. The inhomogeneous structure accompanied by cluster blocks in KCl/CaCl 2 -substituted MP gel accelerated the overall fracture rate. During heating process, more proteins in CaCl 2 -substituted MP did not participate in gel formation, intervening the final gel properties. The chloride salt mixtures containing MgCl 2 , rather than CaCl 2 , avoided or alleviated the liquid loss and shrinkage of low-sodium MP gel within the substitution degree of 10%-40%, and substitution degree not exceeding 25% was more reasonable for the controlled qualities.
