Abstract

Presently, processed meat products are among the essential food item popularly consumed by the population of the developed and developing countries due to its convenience and quickly prepared. In recent years, various studies suggested that the increased intake of processed meat results in an increased risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. The use of different levels of the bamboo shoot to improve dietary fibre in the beef burger and its effects on the nutrient composition, cooking characteristics and sensory acceptability of the beef patties were studied. The beef patties were formulated with either 0, 25 or 50% of ground bamboo shoot to partially replace ground beef. Fat content decreased in line with the bamboo shoot levels in both raw and cooked beef patties. Both raw and cooked patties incorporated with 50% bamboo shoot however showed the lowest fat concentration (P<0.05) at 21.32 and 19.36%, respectively. Both raw and cooked patties containing 50% bamboo shoot recorded the highest concentration (P<0.05) of crude fibre at 1.71 and 1.92%, respectively. All cooked patty samples recorded the moisture content ranging from 46.63-54.87%. Beef patty formulated with 50% bamboo shoot recorded the highest cooking yield at 87.57% (P<0.05) compared to other treatments. The addition of bamboo shoot did not influence the sensory acceptability of the bamboo shoot-based beef patties. In summary, the addition of bamboo shoot at 25% to partially replace the ground beef can be recommended to lower the production cost and fat content and not affecting sensory descriptors of the beef patty to which the consumer is familiarized.

Highlights

The meat and meat products are a major source of protein with high biological value and the main source of some essential fats, minerals and soluble vitamins and these components have a specific function to our body
Beef patty formulated with 50% bamboo shoot showed significantly higher (P
The result from this study shows that the texture and juiciness of beef patty are not affected by the addition of bamboo shoot in patty formulation

Summary

Introduction

The meat and meat products are a major source of protein with high biological value and the main source of some essential fats, minerals and soluble vitamins and these components have a specific function to our body. Functional meat products possess nutritional ingredients that improve health or contain a lesser quantity of harmful compounds like fat and cholesterol. These products are generally produced by the reformulation of meat by incorporating health producing ingredients like a variety of fibres, protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and antioxidants. Low meat diet and high white meat intake were associated with a small decrease in cancer mortality. These findings complement the recommendations by the World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research to reduce red and processed meat intake to decrease cancer incidence (Sinha et al, 2009). The health benefits effects dietary fibre supplementations increase bulk and prevent cooking loss in meat products by enhancing water-binding
