Abstract
Functional and sensory properties of raw and cooked pork patties with added irradiated freeze-dried green tea leaf extract powder were studied. Components of green tea were extracted by 70% ethanol, and the extract was irradiated to obtain a bright color. The irradiated green tea extract was freeze-dried and the powdered sample (0.1%) was added to the pork patties (Trt C). Pork patties without any ingredient (Trt A) and with nonirradiated, freeze-dried green tea extract powder (Trt B) were also prepared for comparison. Lipid oxidation, radical scavenging effect, color, and sensory properties of pork patties with treatments were analyzed at 5-day intervals for 15 days with storage at 4 °C. The lipid oxidation had a lower (P<0.05) and radical scavenging effect was greater (P<0.05) in the raw and cooked pork patties with added Trt B and Trt C, than those of Trt A (control). The pork patties with Trt B and Trt C had a higher Hunter color a*-value and less cooking loss than that of Trt A. Sensory panelists preferred the odor of the raw pork patties and color of the cooked pork patties of Trt C (P<0.05). Generally, no significant difference between Trt B and Trt C was found. Therefore, irradiated, freeze-dried green tea extract powder can be used for producing functionally-improved meat products.
