The results showed that phosphate promoted the interaction between protein and water, thus facilitated the formation of stable and ordered cross-linked network and preserved moisture. SPI increased the degree of crosslinking between proteins, promoted gel WHC, and improved the stability of the gel system. The addition of phosphates and SPI significantly improved gel quality. Compared to the other treatments, sodium pyrophosphate-SPI treatment showed better gel WHC (P < 0.05) and tenderness (P < 0.05) as well as medium viscosity (P < 0.05). The gel added with a mixture of 1.2 g/100 mL sodium hypophosphate and 5 g/100 mL SPI at a volume ratio of 1:3 was characterized by high tenderness (P < 0.05), good WHC (P < 0.05), medium viscosity (P < 0.05), and small roughness (P < 0.05) indicating that this treatment could significantly improve the gel properties of MP from grass carp.
