Abstract
One possible approach to reducing meat consumption and its associated production is the development of hybrid meat products. In the present, 49 sausages (7 for each batch) were prepared including a control sample and hybrids containing pea protein isolate (PPI), chickpea (CP) and red lentil (RL), at inclusion levels of 5 % (PPI5, CP5, and RL5) and 10 % (PPI10, CP10 and RL10). Their physicochemical parameters and rheological properties were evaluated. A storage experiment was also conducted (days 1, 5, 16, 21, and 27 at 4.0 °C ± 0.5 °C under continuous illumination), during which chemical and microbiological stabilities, pH and colour were evaluated. Plant-based substitutes did not affect (P > 0.05) water activity or pH values but led to lower cooking losses after thermal processing (P < 0.05). A significant decrease in redness (a∗) and an increase in lightness (L∗) were observed in PPI10 (P < 0.05). Plant-based substitutes increased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess (P < 0.05), except for RL, which was softer and gummier. Furthermore, a significant increase in the level of oxidation of lipids and proteins was observed in PPI products (P < 0.05). From a microbiological standpoint, all products met the established safety limits.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
