The effects of brisket fat, soy protein isolate, and cornstarch on chemical and textural properties of rabbit sausages were studied using surface response methodology. Sausage samples were prepared using a five-level three-variable Central Composite Rotatable Design with 16 combinations, including two replicates of the center point, carried out in random order. The level of brisket fat (BF), so...

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties of meat batters prepared with fresh pork meat, back fat, water, and salt and formulated with three different amounts (5%, 10%, and 15%) of silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori) powder and transglutaminase (TG). Meat batters formulated with silkworm pupae powder showed significantly higher contents of protein and ash than control batt...

The effects of various postchill deboning times on functional, color, yield, and sensory attributes of broiler breast meat were determined. Broiler breast muscles were deboned at 2, 4, 6, and 24 h postmortem, and pH, color change, cooking yield, shear force values, and sensory traits of the breast meat were recorded. Data were examined by multivariate data analysis, namely principal component a...

This study investigated the degree to which instrumental measurements explain the variation in pork loin tenderness as assessed by the sensory evaluation of trained panelists. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS) had a significant relationship with the sensory tenderness variables, such as softness, initial tenderness, chewiness, and rate of breakdown. In a regression analysis, WBS could account v...

A Raman spectroscopic study was performed to determine protein and lipid structural properties in meat batter containing oil bulking agents as pork backfat replacers. Meat batters were prepared with pork backfat (MB-PF) or with a combination of olive oil, sodium alginate, CaSO4, sodium pyrophosphate and dextrin (MB-A/D) or inulin (MB-A/I) as a fat replacer. Proximate composition, pH, cooking lo...

Ten selected brands of commercial chicken burgers were analysed for their proximate composition, texture profiles, colour and sensory properties. Results show commercial chicken burgers consisted of moisture, proteins, fat and ash in the range of 46.72-69.37%, 11.08-18.77%, 9.08-20.54%, and 1.50-2.96%, respectively. Meanwhile, texture profiles comprised of hardness ranging from 8003.25-19038.15...

Proximate composition (moisture, protein, total fat, and total ash) and textural characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness and firmness and work of shear) of cooked sausages formulated from mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) with addition of chicken offal (heart, gizzard or liver) were investigated. Chicken offal replaced equal weight (15 kg) of MDCM in...

Rice is consumed as a staple food by more than half of the world’s population. Due to higher fibre and micronutrient content, brown rice nutritious white rice, but consumption significantly lower that primarily due sensory attributes. Therefore, present research aimed identify attributes which drive liking Australian-grown varieties. Participants (n = 139) tasted scored (9-point hedonic scale) ...

HIGHLIGHTS The dephytinized wheat bran reduced the specific volume of bread samples compared with bran. hardness and chewiness values were increased, springiness cohesiveness decreased raise in rate storage. Sensory analysis revealed that addition or up to 5% was acceptable.
