Effect of mechanically deboning of chicken on the rheological and sensory properties of chicken sausages

2019

The current study was aimed to investigate the effects of different types and percentage of mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDC) on the textural and sensory properties of sausages in fried and nonfried condition. Cutting behavior, hardness, stringiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience were evaluated on sausage with different percentage of MDC, using chicken fillet as a control. The result of the textural analysis showed that with a high percentage of MCD, the shear force, hardness, and stringiness increased in sausages. The cohesiveness and resilience often decreased with the rising of MDC percentage. Evaluation of shear force in fried products showed that the MDC perc…
