EFFECTS OF AGARICUS BISPORUS AND FLAMMULINA VELUTIPES MUSHROOMS ON QUALITY OF CHICKEN BATTERS

Abstract

It was noted the modern tendencies of the cultivated mushrooms using as a fat substitutes in the technology of low-fat meat products. It was states that variety of low-calorie, low-fat foods have come to the fore, and quickly become the mainstream of the future development of food. The mushrooms are worldwide cultivated and rich in protein, vitamins, dietary fiber, amino acids, polysaccharides, minerals, but low in fat and calories In order to develop low-fat meat products, the compound of Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes mushrooms were used as fat substitute to replace the pork-back fat in chicken batters. The amino acids content of these mushrooms allows receiving a nice flavor and can be use in the minced meat. It was use a chicken meat as a well-liked raw material for emulsified products. For preparation of meat batters was used chicken breast, salt and sodium tripolyphosphate. The chicken meatballs were prepared with the cultivated mushrooms as fat-substitutes.The mushrooms were compounded to replace fat in chicken batters, and the effect of compounding these mushrooms on the quality of chicken mince was investigated to find the optimal ratio of fat replacement. The cooking loss, water holding capacity, color, texture and rheological properties of chicken batters were studied. The results showed that the compound of Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes improved the texture, increased the water holding capacity, redness and yellowness, and reduced the cooking loss and brightness of chicken batters. When the ratio of Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes was 2:1 to replace 30% pork-back fat, chicken batters showed the best quality. In conclusion, the combination of Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes is a promising fat substitute in the development of low-fat meat products.
