Effects of pork collagen in emulsified and whole muscle products were evaluated. Eight frankfurter treatments (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5% pork collagen) and 4 ham treatments (0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% pork collagen) were formulated. Frankfurters and hams were evaluated for cooked yields, purge, color, texture, and sensory characteristics. Incorporation of pork collagen at 1% and above significantly (P < 0.05) increased cooked and chilled yields in frankfurters but did not have any effect in hams. Purge was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in both frankfurters and hams after 4 wk of storage. Sensory difference testing showed no significant difference up to 2% usage level of pork collagen in both frankfurters and hams (P > 0.05).
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.
