ABSTRACT
The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of various types of carrageenans on the texture parameters of low-fat breakfast sausages. Model pork-beef sausages constituted the experimental material. The following parameters of their texture were determined by means of a texture analyzer TA-XT2i: hardness I [N], hardness II [N], adhesion, cohesion, elasticity, gumminess, chewiness. Fat replacement with water and carrageenan resulted in an increase in hardness, elasticity and gumminess, compared with the control samples. Carrageenan G-WG (fraction kappa 1) as well Carrageenan kappa II (A-MR and H-KMR) had the best effect on the texture of low-fat breakfast sausages. Reduce fat content to 25% and 15% with water and carrageenan significantly increase quality of low-fat breakfast sausages.
