The thermal stability of the different pH-shift rice starch/casein-based high internal phase emulsions (SC-HIPE) were evaluated in the present study to verify potential in improving the quality of fish cake. The results showed that the pH-shift treatment improved thermal stability (from 27.23% to 76.33%) and oxidation time (from 5.01 h to 6.86 h) of SC-HIPE, which showed the smaller droplet size (decreased from 15.14 to 1.64 μm) and higher storage module. The breaking force of FC with thermal stable SC-HIPE (average 64.95 g) was higher than that with thermal unstable SC-HIPE (51.05 g). The cohesiveness, adhesiveness and chewiness could be improved by adding thermal stable SC-HIPE, compared with pork fat. Additionally, combining sensory evaluation, the thermal stable SC-HIPE improved the gel quality, thus it could be completely replaced pork fat in the preparation of FC, which provided theoretical guidance for the preparation and application of fat substitutes.
