ABSTRACT. Chitosan used for protein recovery from surimi wash wa-ter (SWW) appears to work by mechanical entrapment and electrostaticinteraction of chitosan amino groups with anionic groups on proteins.Effectiveness is increased by chitosan (Chi) complexation with alginate(Alg). Insoluble solids from SWW (PI) and soluble solids coagulated byChi-Alg (P2) were recovered by centrifugation and freeze-dried. Protein
