The true retention values of nutrients, with particular reference to fatty acids of dietary importance, were investigated in burgers with none or half of the pork backfat replaced with soybean oil-healthier burgers (HB)-added with 0g/kg, 5g/kg, 10g/kg and 20g/kg of dry soybean sprouts (DSS) as additive. A multivariate analysis was applied in order to detect the main fatty acids to characterize the finished product. Cooking yield of samples increased with the amount DSS incorporated, meaning that this bulking agent improved retention of water and fat in the matrix. The higher concentration of additive the higher the protein and total fat retention. Respect to fatty acid profile in samples incorporated with 5g/kg, 10g/kg of DSS the loss of fat-specially saturated fatty acids (SFA)-improved the ratio between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and SFA. Also analyses of atherogenic and thrombogenic indices indicate that 10g/kg DSS presents the lower values for these parameters. Multivariate analysis shown that fatty acid descriptors with more contribution to variability of total data were miristic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic fatty acid.
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.
