Published: July 2011

Physicochemical properties, sensory traits, and protein surface hydrophobicity of Chinese-style meatball (20% fat) processed from various combinations of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and sucrose were investigated. No significant differences in pH and water-holding capacity were noted for treatments following cooking and frozen storage. Sensory springiness, hardness, chewiness, and overall acceptability of all treatments were found not significantly different. Water-soluble protein and total extractable protein concentrations of XOS4 (4% xylooligosaccharides) containing treatments were higher than other treatments at any frozen storage period (0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks). Addition of xylooligosaccharides or sucrose singly or in combination at levels investigated in this experiment resulted in Chinese meatballs with comparable quality. Substitution of sucrose with varying amounts (1, 2, and 4%) of xylooligosaccharides functioned equally on the quality of Chinese-style meatball.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound treatment times (30 min and 60 min) and levels of quinoa protein (QPE) addition (1 % and 2 %) on the quality of Chinese style reduced-salt pork meatballs, commonly known as lion's head. The water-holding capacity (WHC), gel and rheology characteristics, and protein conformation were assessed. The results indicated that extending the ultrasound treatment time and elevating the quinoa protein content caused conspicuous improvements (P<0.

Modified starch is increasingly applied in the meat industry as an effective functional ingredient to provide meat products with the desired textural properties and appearance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate (TADSP) or corn acetylated distarch phosphate (CADSP) on the gel properties and in vitro digestibility of Chinese-style meatballs known as kung-wan. The results showed that TADSP and CADSP significantly enhanced the textural properties of kung-wan in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.

The effects and mechanism of incorporation of cross-linked tapioca starch (CTS) or acetylated tapioca starch (ATS) on the gel properties and in vitro digestibility of kung-wan (a Chinese-style meatball) were evaluated. The results indicated that incorporation of either CTS or ATS significantly enhanced the gel properties of kung-wan in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), as well as the rheological properties of meat batter.

Chopping and beating processes were used as meat-cutting methods in preparing kung-wan to produce low-salt products while retaining or improving the emulsion stability, sensory evaluation, and physico-chemical properties of the standard high-salt formulation. Increased salt content improved emulsion stability and dynamic rheology. However, 3% salt content decreased the overall acceptance of kung-wan.

Two different meat-cutting methods were used to prepare kung-wans in an attempt to produce low-salt products while retaining the same, or improved, textural and physicochemical properties of the standard high-salt formulation. The level of salt and the processing method significantly affected color, cooking yield, texture and changes in the secondary structures of proteins. Improved salt levels resulted in firmer texture.
