“…Plasma proteins, extracted from whole blood, are excellent emulsifiers, have good gelling properties (Petracci, Bianchi, Mudalal, & Cavani, 2013;Toldrá, Aristoy, Mora, & Reig, 2012), and show some improvement in product functionality, such as improved water-holding capacity (Furlan, Rinaldoni, Padilla, & Campderros, 2011), textural enhancement (Fort, Carretero, Parés, Toldrà, & Saguer, 2007;Herrero et al, 2009), and autolysis inhibition (Rawdkuen, Benjakul, Visessanguan, & Lanier, 2005). Given their high functional properties and relatively low cost, plasma proteins have been proposed as potential additives for meat products.…”
