Abstract

This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics and shelf-life of low-fat boiled or smoked sausages containing oven-dried jujube powder at 0.5 and 1.0%. The addition of jujube powder changed the color to be brighter and more yellow during storage (P<0.05). The low-fat boiled sausages with 1% jujube powder were lower cooking loss than the control sausage or 0.5% jejube sausage (p<0.05), and hardness of low-fat smoked sausages with 0.5% jujube powder were higher than the control sausage (p<0.05). Low-fat sausages did not show any interaction between days and treatments in most parameters (p>0.05). Jujube powder (1%) increased the total plate counts of the low-fat boiled sausages, however, the microbial counts in the smoked sausage were not affected by the jujube powder. Thus, the incorporation of jujube powder into the low-fat sausage mixture affected differently depending on the cooking method, however, the jejube powder changed the color of the sausage, regardless of the cooking method.
