Effect of tiger nut fibre on quality characteristics of pork burger

Horchata is a refreshing beverage obtained from tiger nut tubers that yields high amount of by-products. These by-products have a high content of fibre that allows its application in the development of dietary fibre rich foods. The utilization of increasing levels (0%-control, 5%, 10% and 15%) of tiger nut fibre (TNF), in the formulation of pork burgers was evaluated. This evaluation was based on: chemical composition, physicochemical, cooking characteristics and sensory properties of burgers. Pork burgers elaborated with TNF had higher nutritional value (higher fibre content) and better cooking characteristics (higher cooking yield, fat retention and moisture retention) than control burgers. Some of the negative changes in colour (a* decrease and b* increase) and texture (chewiness and springiness increase) parameters due to TNF addition observed in raw burgers were masked by the stronger modifications due to the cooking process. Burgers with TNF were perceived as less greasy, less juicy, more grainy and with less meaty flavour than controls; although this perception did not reduce the overall acceptability of burgers. Overall acceptability scores were slightly lower in burgers with 15% TNF, although no significant differences were detected with the scores of control, 5% and 10% TNF burgers. TNF addition to burgers is a promising and convenient application as dietary fibre of burgers was significantly increased without changes in sensory acceptance.

Influence of processing method and holding time on the physical and sensory qualities of cooked marinated chicken breast fillets

The effects of different processing methods and marinating times on the physical and sensory properties of cooked Chinese-style marinated chicken breast fillets were investigated. Factors including marinade treatment (CM = coarse + mixing; CMH = coarse + mixing + homogenizing; FM = fine + mixing; FMH = fine + mixing + homogenizing) marinating method (immersion only, injection and immersion, tumbling) and holding time (0, 18 h) were applied to samples before cooking under simulated commercial conditions. Marinade absorption, cooking loss, maximum force and surface colour (L*, a*, b* values) were measured. Sensory properties including colour, colour penetration, aroma, toughness, flavour acceptability, saltiness, sourness, sweetness, juiciness and overall acceptability were also evaluated using 20 naïve assessors. Homogenized marinades, CMH and FMH increased surface CIE a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) values. Conversely, CM had the lowest colour penetration. Employing a tumbling method and an 18 h holding period was found to be positively correlated with most sensory attributes measured; surface colour, colour penetration, aroma, saltiness and sweetness. The individual effect of tumbling produced a significantly (P < 0.05) higher overall acceptability, whereas samples held for 18 h were least preferred by the assessors due to lower flavour and overall acceptability scores.

Assessment of nanoparticle paprika oleoresin on marinating performance and sensory acceptance of poultry meat

The effects of nanoparticle paprika oleoresin (1 and 3 g/100 mL) and carrier system (water/milk) on the physical and sensory properties of cooked marinated chicken were investigated. Marinade absorption, cooking loss, surface colour (L1, a1, b1 values), penetration force, moisture and fat content were measured. Sensory properties, including; surface colour (orange, red), colour penetration, aroma, toughness, juiciness, flavour acceptability, paprika flavour, saltiness, hotness and overall acceptability were also evaluated using 25 naïve assessors (consumers). 3 g/100 mL paprika produced greater surface CIE a1 (redness) and b1 (yellowness), sensory surface orange, red and colour penetration attributes. The carrier 0/100 (water to milk ratio) with nanoparticle paprika oleoresin was shown to increase the colour quality of cooked marinated chicken by increasing (P < 0.05) surface CIE a1 (redness) and b1 (yellowness) value, whereas the 100/0 water to milk ratio carrier system provided a better colour penetration. In conclusion the application of nanoparticle paprika successfully enhanced marinating performance.     

The Effect of Natural Ingredients (Amaranth and Pumpkin Seeds) on the Quality Properties of Chicken Burgers

The objective of the current study was to include natural ingredients in the formulation of chicken burgers to improve their quality properties (physicochemical, cooking, oxidation and sensorial properties) during 4 days of refrigerated storage at 4 °C. Chicken burgers were processed added with amaranth (1 and 2%) or pumpkin seeds (1 and 2%) in addition to control. Lipid oxidation was assessed by monitoring malonaldehyde formation with 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay and antioxidant capacity by ABTS, DPPH and FRAPS methods. Natural ingredients (amaranth and pumpkin seeds) used in manufacturing of chicken burgers may improve their cooking characteristics, as well as lipid stability during storage (this effect was stronger when amaranth was added). Moreover, the impact of these ingredients on sensory quality attributes of chicken burgers was not significant; even in some cases (burgers with 2% amaranth), the overall acceptability was scored as higher than control burgers.     

Effect of Opuntia pulp as a clean label ingredient on techno-functional properties of meat-free burger

There is a universal increase from an animal-based diet towards healthy plant-based foods. Opuntia fruit pulp (OFP) as a pigment/hydrocolloid complex provides excellent functional properties. The aim of this study was the reformulation of the meat-free burgers by using OFP (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5%) as a stabilised natural pigment and analysing techno-functional characteristics of uncooked and cooked meat-free burgers. The OFP was a rich source of polyphenols (35.3 ± 2.07 mgGAE/g) and carbohydrates (68.22 ± 0.5%). All uncooked treated burgers exhibited higher water-holding capacity and redness as well as lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values. Results confirmed a higher cooking loss in the control sample (22.2 ± 0.63%) compared with the OFP-treated burger at 1.5 and 2.5% content. Incorporation of OFP as a great source of natural pigments and phenolic components had considerably influenced cooking yield, moisture retention, juiciness and oxidative stability of meat-free burgers. The lowest total colour difference value with resemble meat burger was observed in the treated burgers at the highest content of OFP. According to sensory evaluation, the overall acceptability of cooked burgers with 1.5% OFP was more satisfactory than other samples. Using this clean label ingredient provides a sustainable burger, which is beneficial to the public health, environment and animal welfare.     

Enhanced utilisation of nonmarketable fish: physical,nutritional and sensory properties of ‘clean label’ fish burgers

Four ‘clean label’ formulations for fish burgers made with mechanically separated fish meat were characterised in sensory, textural and chemical terms. The formulations differed in the ratios of European sea bass to rainbow trout (50:50 and 30:70) and the ratios of fish to potato flakes (dry matter ratio, DMR: 2.5:1 and 1.5:1). The sensory profile was mainly influenced by DMR. Recipes with the higher DMR were positively correlated with sandy, dry and crusty attributes, salty taste and overall flavour. Soft texture was perceived for recipes with the lower DMR, although no differences in texture were detected by a texturometer. Lowering DMR increased ash and water content and decreased protein content, as expected. The results indicated that 100 g of burger provided more essential fatty acids than the recommended daily intake, irrespective of formulation. In conclusion, multiple factor analysis indicated that the main changes detected and perceived were due to DMR.     

Study on quality characteristics of camel burger and evaluating its stability during frozen storage

This study investigated the influence of replacing One-humped camel meat instead of cow meat (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %) on quality characteristics and frozen storage stability in burgers. For this purpose thiobarbituric acid test (TBA-RS), cooking characteristics, color parameters, texture and sensory properties were studied during 3 months at ?18 °C. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the moisture retention, diameter reduction, sensory properties, lightness, yellowness and springiness. Cooking yield, TBA-RS, fat retention, cohesiveness, flavor and texture showed significant differences (p < 0.05) through storage. Other evaluated properties of burgers showed no significant differences (p > 0.05) in various levels of camel meat and over storage term. Moisture retention of burgers increased with increasing of camel meat content. The sensory panel scores for flavor, texture, juiciness and overall acceptability increased but color scores decreased with increasing the level of camel meat. Cooking yield, fat retention and cohesiveness decreased by increasing the storage period.     

The Effect of Post-Cooking Holding Times on Sensory Assessment of Low- and High-Fat Beefburgers

ABSTRACT: The effect of post-cooking holding-time on sensory assessment of low (89 g/kg) and high (218 g/kg) fat beefburgers was assessed. Burgers were served to panelists approximately 3 or 18 min after cooking. Fat content influenced fattiness, moistness/juiciness and overall appearance (P < 0.05), overall acceptability and overall texture (P< 0.01) and tenderness and crumbliness (p<0.001). Burgers with the higher fat content had higher scores. Holding-time influenced sensory overall appearance only with lower scores at extended holding times (P < 0.01). Treatment differences were small, mostly less than one sensory scale unit. Higher lightness and yellowness values were found for burgers with higher fat contents.

本文对比研究了微波烹饪、空气炸锅烹饪、烘烤烹饪和蒸煮烹饪4种常用烹饪方式对盐渍鱼干咀嚼性(质构)、滋味(游离氨基酸),风味(挥发性物质)和微观结构的影响。结果表明:4种烹饪方式均可通过显著降低盐渍鱼干的硬度和咀嚼性、增加弹性来改变其质构特性;微波烹饪、空气炸锅烹饪和烤箱烹饪都能不同程度的降低盐渍鱼干的游离氨基酸总量,而蒸煮烹饪提高了氨基酸总量,从原始量586.66 mg/100 g增加至631.45 mg/100 g;4种烹饪方式均可使鱼干样品中醛酮类物质和酯类物质含量显著上升,烷烃类物质含量显著下降,其中空气炸锅烹饪处理鱼干样品中醛酮类物质含量最高,达到37.07%;烹饪处理使盐渍鱼干肌肉纤维严重皱缩,纤维束间充满了烹饪用油,空气炸锅和烘烤烹饪处理后盐渍鱼干纤维束间的空隙较明显。     

Eating quality of low‐fat beef burgers containing fat‐replacing functional blends

Tapioca starch, carrageenan, oat fibre, pectin, whey protein and a commercial mixture of carrageenan and locust bean gum were assessed for their ability to mimic fat characteristics in cooked low‐fat (10%) beef burgers. Thirteen different blends of the ingredients were formulated in order to examine their effects on quality parameters of low‐fat beef burgers. The beef burgers were tested for cook yield, water‐holding capacity (WHC), retention of shape, sensory and mechanical texture analysis. Most blends significantly (P<0.05) increased both cook yield and WHC, in particular blends containing tapioca starch, oat fibre, whey protein and the carrageenan/locust bean gum mixture. These blends substantially reduced both Warner–Bratzler and Kramer shear values. Sensory analysis showed that beef burgers containing tapioca starch, oat fibre and whey protein were acceptable in terms of flavour and texture. The low‐fat control was found to be the toughest and driest of the beef burgers examined. This study shows that blends of these ingredients can be used to offset the poor quality associated with low‐fat beef burgers. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of cooking temperature on texture and flavour binding of braised sauce porcine skin

To investigate the effect of cooking temperature (55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 °C) on texture and flavour binding of braised sauce porcine skin (BSPS), sensory acceptance, microstructure and flavour-binding capacity were investigated during the processing of BSPS. Samples cooked at 85 and 95 °C showed better texture and aroma scores. Hardness and chewiness of BSPS were obviously improved at 85 and 95 °C than control group. Collagen structure was significantly destroyed over 85 °C. The porcine skin collagen heated at 85 and 95 °C showed relatively higher flavour-binding capacity than other samples. The improvement of texture of BSPS was mainly attributed to the degradation of collagen. Higher aroma scores of BSPS were related to intense binding abilities with aroma compounds at 85 and 95 °C. Cooking at 85 or 95 °C could be an optimal cooking temperature for BSPS.

Effect of varying salt and fat levels on the sensory and physiochemical quality of frankfurters

The sensory and physiochemical properties of frankfurters with varying fat and salt levels were investigated. Twenty frankfurter formulations were produced with varying concentrations of fat (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% w/w) and salt (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3% w/w). Frankfurters were assessed instrumentally for colour, moisture, fat, cooking loss and texture profile analysis. Consumers (n = 25) evaluated each product in duplicate for colour, coarseness, tenderness, juiciness, salt taste, meat flavour, off-flavour and overall acceptability using a hedonic scale. Salt levels below 1.5% were shown to have a negative effect on consumer acceptability, with 2.5% salt concentration being the most accepted (P < 0.001) by consumers. However, frankfurters containing the lower fat levels 10% and 15% fat with higher salt levels (2.5–3%) were significantly the most acceptable variants to consumers. Samples containing less fat and salt were found to be tougher, less juicy and had greater cooking losses. Thus salt perception is very important for consumer acceptability, but fat levels can be potentially reduced without significantly affecting overall acceptability.     

The sensory acceptance of fibre‐enriched cereal foods: a meta‐analysis

Improved understanding of the sensory responses to fibre fortification may assist manufacturers and health promotion efforts. The effects of fibre fortification (or modified ingredients) on sensory acceptability of baked cereal foods (bread, cookies, muffins) were estimated by linear random‐effects meta‐analysis of twenty eligible studies (869 panellists, 34% male). As little as 2 g per 100 g fortification caused moderate–large reductions in overall acceptability, flavour acceptability, and appearance acceptability in most items, with cookies most negatively affected. Fortification of base nonfortified foods with low initial acceptability improved acceptability; however, at higher basic levels, fortification lowered acceptability. Fortification improved texture acceptability of muffins and bread with low base acceptability, but lowered texture acceptability when base acceptability was high. Flavour improvement of muffins with fortification decreased with increasing base food acceptability. Fibre fortification of baked cereal foods lowers acceptability, but food format and base food acceptability affect the magnitude and direction of responses. Refining fibre fortification approaches could improve consumer uptake.
