The first goal for this experiment was to determine the structural and technological characteristics for methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), while the subsequent goal for this experiment was to determine the application of the modified cellulose ingredients in reduced-fat meat batters. Each ingredient was characterized and then evaluated as a fat replacer using meat batters with targeted fat levels of 20%, 10%, and 5%. It was determined that each modified cellulose ingredient was unique in its structural and technological properties which caused significant effects on the physiochemical properties of the meat batters. Specifically, MC created inconsistences during heating and cooling of meat batters resulting in elevated cooking loss but did not change textural hardness of cooked samples, CMC appeared to interfere with the meat batter matrix resulting in lower textural hardness but maintained levels of cooking loss, and MCC had similar levels of cooking loss and textural hardness when compared with the control samples.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental and health impacts of their food choices, leading to changes in consumption behavior. This study examines the consumption patterns and behaviors of European consumers regarding meat substitutes and identifies factors influencing their acceptance as alternative protein sources. The study involved 5000 participants from four European countries-France, Germany, Italy, and Spain with data extracted from the Mintel consumer database in 2024.

The present work assessed the impacts of nisin (200 mg/kg) and nisin-nanoparticles (NNPs; 200 mg/kg) in combination with propolis ethanolic extract (PEE; 1% and 3%) on quality and stability of sausage during refrigerated period. The treated meat batters were mechanically stuffed into polyamide casings, packaged in vacuum conditions and analyzed at days 1, 15, 30 and 45. Sausages treated with combined NNPs and PEE displayed higher total phenolic content (2.

This work investigated the effects of curdlan gum-guar gum composite microgels (CG microgels) as a fat replacer on the gel properties, water distribution, and microstructures of pork meat batters, using techniques including rheometry, SEM, and LF-NMR. Between 55 °C and 80 °C, the addition of 30 % CG microgels enhanced the viscoelastic response of pork meat batters. Additionally, the CG microgels reduced cooking loss from 18.

Chicken heart is the by-product of great amount in poultry industry owing to concentrated slaughter development, however, whose potential in food application is unclear. The gelation of chicken heart has great difficulties due to the muscle structure and protein structure of the heart. Therefore, different levels of sodium alginate (SA) were added into chicken heart batter (CHB) to investigate the gelation strategies.

The behavior of resistant starch (RS) in meat matrix depends largely on its type. Hence, the comparative impacts of high amylose corn starch (RS2), retrograded starch (RS3), acetylated starch (RS4) and high amylose-lauric acid complex (RS5) on water-fat binding capacities, texture, color and microstructure of low-fat meat emulsions were investigated. Four types of RS improved water retention, emulsion stability, textural properties and brightness of low-fat meat emulsions, displaying even better potential than inulin (positive control).
