description The global challenge of food waste necessitates innovative solutions, such as incorporating carrot pomace, a nutrient-rich by-product of carrot juice production, into beef patties to enhance their nutritional and functional properties. This study evaluated beef patties with carrot pomace added at 0%, 1.0%, 3.0%, and 4.2%, analyzing the proximate composition, pH, color, cooking yield, water-holding capacity (WHC), texture, and sensory attributes. Adding 3.0% and 4.2% pomace significantly reduced the moisture content by 5.5% and 3.3%, respectively, and decreased redness by 40% in the 4.2% patties. The cooking yield increased by 13.9% and 22.8%, and WHC improved by 8.5% and 15.7%, respectively, with these additions. The textural properties showed substantial reductions in hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness, particularly at 4.2%. The sensory evaluation indicated no significant differences in appearance, aroma, taste, or overall liking for patties with up to 3% pomace. In comparison, patties with 4.2% pomace received lower scores for overall liking and firmness. These findings suggest that incorporating up to 3% carrot pomace in beef patties enhances their functional properties and dietary fiber content without compromising the sensory quality. This offers a sustainable and practical approach to food waste valorization.
