Cold-set or hot-set emulsion gels consisted of a healthy oil blend to replace beef fat in heat-treated fermented sausages

摘要

The current work aimed to investigate the utilization of gelled emulsion (GE) systems stabilized either with cold or hot gelation consisted of peanut and linseed oils as fat replacers in fermented beef sausages. The reformulation provided a healthier lipid profile, that led to decreasing total lipid content, cholesterol, and SFAs (from 46.6% to 23.5%) meanwhile increasing both MUFAs (from 47.3% to 51.0%) and PUFAs (from 4.7% to 25.4%) as well as improving nutritional ratios (ω-6/ω-3, PUFA/SFA, LA, and IT). Cold-set GE caused less significant changes in instrumental color and protected PUFAs compared with hot-set GE, whereas hot-set GE provided advantages over cold-set GE in terms of microstructure, purge loss, and sensory scores. Replacement of beef fat fully by a hot-set GE system instead of using a fat-GE mixture was effective in reducing oxidation. The results demonstrated that utilization of different GE systems can be an effective strategy to contribute to the development of lipid-modified fermented meat products.
