The Effect of Adding Degreased Flaxseeds on the Quality of Pork Sausages

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of adding degreased flax seeds (DFS; 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) on the quality of homogenized pork sausages. It was found that the 2% DFS addition to the batter had no effect on most of the analyzed quality parameters of sausages (i.e., cooking and reheating lo...

description The aim of the study was to assess the effect of adding degreased flax seeds (DFS; 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) on the quality of homogenized pork sausages. It was found that the 2% DFS addition to the batter had no effect on most of the analyzed quality parameters of sausages (i.e., cooking and reheating loss, water activity, pH, L* and a* color parameters, water, protein and fat content, shear and compression force, elasticity, and meat taste). However, a 2% DFS addition resulted in an increase b* color parameter, reduction in the intensity of the meat odor, and the appearance of the odor and taste of flax seeds in the product, as well as a slight deterioration in its overall desirability. The higher the DFS addition, the more pronounced its adverse effect on the product quality, especially its sensory quality. A large addition of DFS to the batter also caused a significant reduction in the shear force of sausages, a reduction in the L* and a* color parameters, and an increase in the pH value.
