Onulin, fructooligosaccharide, oat fiber and wheat fiber were added at 3 and 6% level in low-fat beef burger and their performances were evaluated. The low-fat beef burgers were submitted to cooking losses, objective color, texture profile, TBARS value, pH, microbiological and sensory evaluations. FR3, FR6, ON3 e ON6 showed no difference from the control to yield. Hardness values increased in DF6, WF3 and WF6 and it was similar to control. WF6 was the lowest score for the overall acceptance. Higher yield and hardness were found with the addition of insoluble fibers at 6% level. The TBARS values were not influenced by the addition of dietary fibers in low-fat beef burger. Onulin at 6% (ON6) level showed the highest score for all the sensory attributes. Adding 6% inulin was shown the best alternative for use in low-fat beef burger.Keywords: dietary fiber; acceptability; fat substitute; TPA; inulin.
Practical Application:Comparison of technology behavior of soluble and insoluble fiber as fat substitute in beef burger.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
