“…Plant proteins and polysaccharides are often utilized in chopped meat products as meat binders, gelling agents, texture stabilizers or fat substitutes to improve quality (Wijaya, Patel, Setiowati, & Meeren, ). However, in previous work, most of the studies were focused on emulsion stability, WHC, microstructure, and quality characteristics of the heat‐induced meat gelation by additives (Gao, Zhang, & Zhou, ; Zhao, Zhou, & Zhang, ), there was a lack of report on water distribution of raw and cooked minced meat paste prepared with additives, such as plant protein and polysaccharides. Several papers have reported that the low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation is a rapid, noninvasive, and nondestructive method of determining the distribution of water pools with different relaxation time rates in food (Buera, ; Carneiro, Mársico, Júnior, Álvares, & Jesus, ).…”
