Results showed that the control group had a higher core temperature, while the core temperature of the noodles equilibrated with the water temperature after water-cooling for 100 s. Within the range of 20–100 s of water-cooling time, a sudden drop in the core temperature of the cooked noodles caused the gluten conformation to transition toward more compact β-sheets. Surface hydrophobicity decreased, while S-S and hydrogen bonds increased. The microstructure of the noodles became more compact, reducing gaps between protein and starch molecules. Small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy analyses demonstrated that gluten chains aggregated after water-cooling, resulting in increased chain width and height. The wheat gluten protein structure transitioned from a disordered state to a random coil. Ultimately, the hardness, springiness, and chewiness of the noodles gradually increased. Water distribution results revealed that the free water content of the noodles increased after 120 s of water-cooling, enhancing the hydration between protein and water molecules but decreasing the noodle texture. According to X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter analyses, heat loss did not alter the gelatinized starch crystal structure of noodles. Therefore, changes in core temperature were the primary cause of gluten structural changes prior to 100 s of water-cooling. After 120 s of water-cooling, increased hydration between noodle surface gluten and water negatively affected the edible quality of noodles.

However, surimi from freshwater fish like silver carp generally exhibits inferior gel properties compared to marine fish. This study investigated the effects of 915 MHz single-mode microwave-assisted processing on the gel properties of low-salt silver carp surimi. Traditional water bath processing served as the control for comparison. Gel strength, texture, water-holding capacity (WHC), whiteness, protein secondary structure, and microstructure, along with thermal processing efficiency for microbial inactivation were evaluated. The results demonstrated that single-mode microwave processing significantly improved gel properties compared to water bath processing. Compared with the optimal water bath treatment, the gel strength of microwave processed samples increased significantly from 479.32 g·cm to 821.74 g·cm, while WHC increased from 0.77 to 0.87. The microwave processed surimi exhibited a more uniform microstructure. Because it enhanced the dissolution and cross-linking of myofibrillar proteins, leading to superior gel formation characterized by a lower α-helix content (10.31%) and higher β-sheet content (61.70%). Furthermore, microwave processing achieved faster heating rates, reducing the time spent in the critical gel deterioration temperature range, thereby improving overall gel quality. Single-mode microwave-assisted gelation also provided better thermal processing uniformity and efficiency, achieving pasteurization standards. The study highlights the potential of 915 MHz single-mode microwave processing to produce high-quality, low-salt surimi products, meeting contemporary health and convenience demands.
