This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of pork emulsion-type sausage added with water dropwort powder (0%, 1%, 2% and 3%). Moisture contents of containing 2%, 3% water dropwort powder treatments were significantly higher than control (p<0.05). However, fat contents decreased with increasing in water dropwort powder. Ash contents of pork emulsion-type sausage was increased with an increasing water dropwort powder. Cooking loss of water dropwort powder treatments were significantly lower than control (p<0.05). Texture profile analysis was no significantly differences between control and treatments. Viscosity of the pork emulsion-type sausage was increased with an increasing water dropwort powder. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of water dropwort powder treatments were significantly higher than that of control (p<0.05). Ferric reducing antioxidant power of samples were significantly increased with an increasing water dropwort powder (p<0.05). These results suggest that pork emulsion-type sausage added with 3% water dropwort powder can be used as a high quality natural additive sausage.
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.
