Abstract
ABSTRACTA blend of sunflower flour/soy flour in the ratio 1:1, intended as a meat extender, was extruded in a Wenger X‐25 extrusion cooker. The effect of adding textured sunflower/soy flour (TSP) to ground beef was determined by evaluating sensory properties and quality. After preliminary analyses of TSP, sensory tests were performed on a mixture of TSP/beef (30:70), using beef as a control. Panelists detected significant differences at the 1% level for texture and flavor, but could not decide which sample they liked better. Appearance, flavor, texture, juiciness and overall quality of TSP/beef were also evaluated. Appearance and flavor of TSP/beef was significantly lower (at the 5% level) than of beef, but texture of TSP/beef was significantly better. No significant differences were found for juiciness or overall quality between samples.
