ACTA Scientiarum Polonorum

Abstract: Influence of functional additives (k carrageenan, soya protein isolate and wheat fibre) on technological and physico-chemical properties of low-fat frankfurters were studied. Two levels of carrageenan addition were used (0.5% and 0.6% in meat blends) and in the selected variants 2% of soya protein isolate or 1% of wheat fibre were added. When instead of 0.5% of k carrageenan, 0.6% of carrageenan together with 2% soya protein iso-late or 1% of wheat fibre were used, it caused significant statistical reduction of storage losses under refrigerated conditions of frankfurters. Addition of soya protein isolate and wheat fibre to blends with k carrageenan did not improve significantly sensory quality of frankfurters. There was no difference between properties of products with addition of soya protein isolate and wheat fibre.
