Abstract
Shear stress, shear strain, whiteness of surimi gels made with high and low grades of Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting were investigated to determine linearity of their relationships. A canonical form of least square linear model in mixture design showed a greater linearity (r2=0.99) for blending high and low grade surimi lots. Due to linearity without interaction (p<0.001), a least cost linear program provided optimum blending for surimi lots based on value, constraints, and decision variables. Linear programming to determine optimum formulation of surimi with starches and water content was not feasible due to interactions between surimi and starch, or starch and water.
