Fresh buffalo sausage was prepared with 3 % sodium alginate, 0.5 ' 7" sodium pyrophosphate or 3 % alginate + 0.5 76 sodium pyrophosphate and stuffed in natural mutton casing or alginate casing. All samples were stored at +4 "C and analysed.Addition of 3 :; alginate was more effective in protection of sausages from drying, increased markedly the water holding capacity (WHC), increased considerably the cooking yield of sausage and plasticity when compared with 0.5 % pyrophosphate samples. During storage at +4 "C the WHC of control and pyrophosphate sausages decreased while that of 3 % alginate samples was almost constant. Alginate casings lowered the rate of moisture loss during storage; in this case addition of pyrophosphate or alginate in the sausage emulsion seemed to be unnecessary.Alginate as used in the sausage emulsion did not raise the rate of total volatile nitrogen (T.V.N.) and thiobarbituric acid value (TBA value) increase during storage of sausage, while pyrophosphate reduced the rate of T.V.N. and TBA value increases.Incorporation of 0.5 % pyrophosphate with 3 "/o alginate was useful only for the decrease of T.V.N. and TBA value during storage.It is known that phycocolloids such as alginates possess the advantages of high water absorption ability and high viscosity even at low concentrations; being soluble in cold water. According to WYLIE [14] alginates could be used as thickening agent in meat products and as sausage casings. The texture of sausage was improved when 40 % of the meat was replaced with alginate fibers plus plasma protein isolateThe aim of this investigation was to study the effect of alginates on the chemical and physical properties of fresh buffalo sausage when compared with pyrophosphate. Alginate casings were also prepared and evaluated in comparison with the natural sausage casings.Fresh sausage was prepared using buffalo lean meat obtained from the hind quarter of females, 8 years old after 3 h of slaughter. Fat tissues were obtained from different parts of the same carcasses.
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.
