The effect of steaming time on `keropok' was studied. The morphology of the starch granules in keropok gel at different steaming times was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). There was an optimum time for the steaming of keropok which gave the best linear expansion and hardest texture

✦ Synopsis
Light microscopy studies on the ®sh cracker gel and expanded product (keropok') emphasised the role of ®sh proteins in the starch expansion process. The addition of salt (20 g kg À1 ) in the keropok' helped to distribute evenly the starch in the ®sh protein. Formation of thin ®sh muscle bundles assisted the expansion of keropok'. At 700±900 g kg À1 ®sh content, the ®sh muscle bundles formed a continuous network that caused a drop in the keropok' expansion. From the scanning electron microscopy study, ridges were found in samples (containing 600±900 g kg À1 ®sh content) with 20 g kg À1 salt at high magni®cation.
