Elaboration of Sausage with Mechanically Separated Meat from Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus, Linnaeus 1758) Enriched with Grape Bark Fibers
Use of organic waste. Fish. Functional food
There are still many organic solid wastes discarded in the food industry that have high nutritional value and can contribute to food safety. One way to add value to these foods is its use in the development of products, which was the objective of this work, which aimed at the elaboration of a sausage containing the Mechanically Separated Meat (CMS) of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus 1758), which has its backbone discarded by the fishing industry, with the addition of grape marc flour (rich source of fiber underutilized by wineries). The DCCR Experimental Planning method will be used to produce the best formulation of the product. Physico-chemical and microbiological analyzes will be carried out on both raw materials and fish sausage. Besides these analyzes, the technological action of the fiber will also be evaluated under the physical and chemical characteristics of the co-product, as well as to evaluate the acceptance and purchase intention through the sensorial analysis. As a result, it is expected to obtain a nutritional and fiber-enriched co-product that the hygienic-sanitary conditions are satisfactory in accordance with the standards required by the legislation attesting its sanitary quality and acceptable to the consumer. It is expected to obtain as a conclusion a formulation for the fish sausage enriched with fiber of good nutritional quality, functional, bacteriological and sensory.
