Nutritionaland sensorial characterizationofchickenburgerspreparedwithflaxseedflour(LinumusitatissimumL.)
golden flaxseed, meat product, technological properties, sensory analysis, functional foods
Gold flaxseedflour (GFF) atconcentrations 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% wasused as a functionalingredientreplacingchickenfat for theproductionofchickenburgers.The productswereanalyzed for moisture, protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash, instrumental color parameters, shear force, consumeracceptance, sensoryandtechnologicalcharacteristics.The fat, carbohydrateandproteincontentoftherawhamburgerspresented no significantdifference. The moisturecontentdecreasedwiththeincreaseoftheGFFconcentration, counterposingtheashcontentthatincreased as theGFFconcentrationincreased. The additionofGFFpositivelyaffectedthetechnologicalcharacteristics, withincreasedyieldandwaterretentioncapacityandlowershrinkage. The color parameterswerenotaffectedbytheconcentrationofGFF. The texturepresentedwithlessmechanicalresistancewiththeincreaseoftheflourconcentration.The formulation F1 hadthehighest overall acceptancemeananddidnotdifferfrom F0, butthesedifferedfromthosewithhigherGFFcontent. The CATA methodrevealedthattheformulations F1 and F0 wereassociatedwithtermscorrespondingtothedesiredsensorycharacteristics. The incorporationofGFFcontributedpositivelytotheanalyzedparameters, becominganoption as a functionalingredient for meatproducts.
