Continuous operating vane pump-grinder systems are increasingly replacing bowl choppers in the industrial manufacturing of sausages. However, their use has traditionally been limited to coarsely ground, dry-cured sausages rather than finely emulsified sausages. We hypothesize that simultaneous alteration of volume flow rateV and knife rotational speed n grinder may allow for the degree of dispersion to be freely modified, thereby facilitating production of emulsified meat batters. Coarsely ground raw material mixtures were processed at volume flow ratesV of 3 to 60 L/min and knife rotational speeds n grinder of 11.8 to 236.0 rpm in a vane pumpgrinder system. The structure of the sausages was analyzed using image analysis. Texture, water-binding, color, and content of solubilized proteins of the meat batters were determined. A linear relationship between the sausage structure and the volumetric energy input E V was found. The color values a* and b* (a* ∼9.9, b* ∼7.0) did not differ noticeably between samples processed at different volume flow rates and knife rotational speeds. However, the lightness L* correlated with the sausage structure. Released serum content increased with decreasing volumetric energy input E V , which may be explained by an increased solubilized protein content in meat batters. The process-structure relationship determined can be used by manufacturers to predict product properties as a function of process parameters.
