Concentration Optimization of Meat, MOCAF (Modified Cassava Flour), and Purified Porang Flour--Carrageenan (PPFC) Mixed Hydrocolloid Gel for Restructured Sliced Meat Formula using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

This study aims to determine the optimum formula in restructured sliced meat production using the Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology (BBD-RSM) to obtain the best yield, hardness, and water-holding capacity (WHC). The concentration of the meat used was 30 to 40 %, MOCAF (modified cassava flour) was 10 to 15 %, and purified porang flour-k-carrageenan (PPFC) mixed hydrocolloid gel was 7.5 to 12.5 %. The alterations in yield, hardness, and WHC of restructured sliced meat were significantly predicted by the second-order regression models with high R2 values. The results revealed that the combining meat composition of 35.41 %, MOCAF of 11.58 %, and purified porang flour-k-carrageenan (PPFC) mixed hydrocolloid gel of 12.50 % was predicted as the optimum formula for restructured meat with characteristics as follows; 99.62 % yield, 133.63 g hardness, and 68.76 % WHC. The verification results through actual research were not significantly different (p > 0.05) from the predictions optimal formula, with characteristics as follows; 99.07 % yield, 131.63 g hardness, and 68.45 % WHC. HIGHLIGHTS The use of MOCAF and PPFC mixed gels for restructured sliced meat making Optimization of restructured sliced meat was reported by Box Behnken Design The optimal formula of the restructured sliced ​​meat was exhibited GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
