Influence of different oligosaccharides and inulin on heterocyclic aromatic amine formation and overall mutagenicity in fried ground beef patties.

摘要

The effects of different oligosaccharides [fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), and isomaltooligosaccharide (MOS)] and inulin on heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) formation and overall mutagenicity in fried ground patties were evaluated. Different oligosaccharides and inulin was added directly to ground beef. Patties (100 g) were fried at 225 degrees C (surface temperature) for 10 min per side. FOS added at levels of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 g to 100 g of ground beef inhibited total HAA formation by 19, 32, 45, 51, and 58%, respectively. The addition of 1.5 g of FOS, GOS, MOS, and inulin to ground beef patties inhibited total HAA formation by 50, 47, 46, and 54%, respectively. They also reduced overall mutagenicity by 52, 51, 48, and 59%, respectively. These studies confirm that oligosaccharides and inulin have the potential to reduce HAA formation in cooked beef patties.
