Research and development of seafood continues to be productive in terms of new and improved products for both food and non-food purposes. The use of biotechnology, microbiology, computer modeling and advanced analytical techniques has led to improvements in processing and product safety. This recent book provides extensive new information on these developments. The 25 reports were prepared by food scientists specializing in seafood. The reports are well illustrated with numerous schematics and some micrographs. Extensive reference data is provided in tables and graphs.

This international symposium allowed many researchers and industrial representatives to meet and discuss a broad spectrum of information such as zero emission, resources availability, sustainable utilization of resources, bioactive and functional components in aquatic organisms, utilization of wastes, seafood quality, surimi technologies and processing and safety. The book aims: To provide a current record presented in the international symposium More Efficient Utilization of Fish and Fisheries Products, 7-10 October 2001, Kyoto, Japan; To provide a stimulus to researchers in this area to cross-fertilize ideas and demonstrate examples of success; To enhance values and returns to fisheries fields in national and international terms by providing descriptions of better techniques and methods for utilizing the catch, reducing waste, and providing valuable by-products.

An examination of all aspects of the production of surimi and surimi seafood. It surveys the transformation from functional fish proteins (surimi) to surimi seafood products with unique texture, flavour and colour, and covers fish stocks, on-shore and at-sea processing, quality control methods, and the chemistry of functional ingredients. It also investigates the special characteristics of myofibrillar fish proteins and their functions in gelation.
