Abstract
ABSTRACTThe effects of four heating rates (0.31, 0.51, 1.22, and 1.62°C/min) on the gelation, stability and texture of meat batters containing 2.5 and 1.25% salt were studied. In general, slower heating rates resulted in higher modulus of rigidity (G) values, and salt reduction resulted in lower G values. All the low salt treatments, except the 1.62°C/min treatment, showed a structural breakdown (above 67°C) when the scanning rigidity monitor was used. However, in the texture profile analysis (samples cooked to 50, 60 and 70°C) no structural breakdown was observed. Therefore, special care should be given to interpreting gelation profile results.
