Control was prepared with only porcine myofibrillar protein (60 mg/mL), and porcine myofibrillar protein-gelatin mixtures were formulated with porcine myofibrillar protein and each gelatin (9:1 ratio) at the same protein concentration.
Means sharing different letters within a row are significantly different (p<0.05).
NS, non-significance (p≥0.05).
