Processing, physicochemical, and sensory analyses of ostrich meat hamburger

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the potential utilization of ostrich meat trimming in hamburger preparation, as well as its physicochemical and sensory characterization. Using ostrich meat trimmings from the legs and neck, four different formulations were prepared with varied amounts of bacon and textured soybean protein. Physical analysis of yield, shrinkage percentage, and water retention capacity and chemical analysis of proximate composition, cholesterol levels, and calories were performed. The formulations underwent sensory analysis by 52 potential ostrich meat consumers, who evaluated tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and purchase intent. The formulations containing textured soybean protein showed the highest yield, lowest shrinkage percentage, and highest water retention capacity. Lipid content varied from 0.58 to 4.99%; protein from 17.08 to 21.37%; ash from 3.00 to 3.62%; moisture from 73.87 to 76.27%; cholesterol from 22.54 to 32.11 mg.100 g-1; and calorie from 87.22 to 163.42 kcal.100 g-1. All formulations showed low cholesterol and calorie levels, even that containing 10% bacon and 3.5% textured soybean protein, which achieved the best scores and acceptance by the panelists.

“…A utilização da carne de avestruz e proteína texturizada de soja (PTS) mostrou-se eficiente nas formulações de hambúrgueres, apresentando boa aceitação por potenciais consumidores, conforme demonstrado pelo alto nível de aceitação e pontuações acima da média para suculência, sabor e maciez. Assim todas as formulações deste estudo foram classificadas como hambúrgueres extra-magros, já que apresentaram baixos níveis de colesterol e calorias, até mesmo o hambúrguer feito com 10% de bacon (SOUZA et al, 2012).…”

Spices as natural additives for beef burger production

“…Today's consumers look for healthier and more practical meat products, preferably with no synthetic chemical additives but still with pleasant and attractive color and taste and it rests to the food technologists the challenge to develop new products to meet that demand (Guimarães et al, 2010;Ramos & Gomide, 2007;Sales et al, 2015;Varela & Fiszman, 2013). The gourmet burger has attracted great consumer interest as it is made with fresh and tasty ingredients and maintains the nutritional value and convenience in the preparation (Oliveira et al, 2013;Souza et al, 2012).…”
