Chicken patties and frankfurters were manufactured by varying the relative proportion of MDM to HDM as raw materials, and their palatability, shelf-life and textural properties were evaluated.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. Chicken patty containing MDM slowed gradual increase in TBA value during frozen storage, but its storage up to g weeks presented no problems in flavor stability.
2. Color score and total palatability of chicken patty were best for the product containing 30% MDM. It was also concluded that MDM can be included in the patties up to 50% of total meat with good results, but more than 70% was not recommended.
3. The formulation of MDM up to 50% in frankfurter gave a quite satisfactory acceptability and textural properties compararable to frankfurter made of 100% HDM, but the inclusion of more than 70% MDM was not recommended.
4. The TBA value of frankfurter containg MDM did not increase to any great extent until 4 weeks of storage at 4¡É, indicating no unique problems in flavor instability compared to regular frankfurter.
5. It was concluded that processed meat products such as patties and frankfurters containing MDM up to 30¡35% of total meat ingredients gave satisfactory results in color, texture and palatability, comparable to regular products.
