Makgeolli lees is a jigaemi by product produced by makgeolli brew processing. Jigaemi has high fiber content and therefore can potentially be used in the development of foods rich in dietary fiber. The effects of makgeolli lees fibers on the composition and physico-chemical properties of chicken emulsion systems were studied. The moisture and ash contents, yellowness, and viscosity of chicken meat emulsion systems with makgeolli lees fiber were all higher than those of control. Moreover, chicken batters supplemented with makgeolli lees fiber were characterized by lower cooking loss and better emulsion stability. Chicken emulsion systems with makgeolli lees fiber also had improved emulsion stability and emulsion viscosity, and the best results were obtained with meat batter containing 2% makgeolli lees fiber.
The effects of the addition of wheat fiber on physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of pork loin cutlets were investigated to develop pork loin cutlets formulated with different concentrations of wheat fiber (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%). The moisture content, ash content, pH, and lightness of pork loin cutlets increased with increasing wheat fiber levels (p<0.05). However, the fat content, calorie, redness, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing wheat fiber levels (p<0.05). The protein content, yellowness, and springiness of pork loin cutlets did not show significant difference (p>0.05). The sensory evaluation shows the greatest overall acceptability was ranked at the pork loin cutlets added with wheat fiber at 3%. Pork loin cutlets with added wheat fiber could be commercially acceptable meat products, and can be improved quality characteristics. The best results were obtained for pork loin cutlets with addition of 3% wheat fiber.
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.
