Meat patties is one of the patties mostly consumed by Malaysian due to its convenient
preparation and it can be easily found in high-end western restaurants, kiosks, and night
markets. However, the population of targeted species in making patties used in meat
patties production is alarming. Asiatic hard clam (Meretrix meretrix) is a species of
freshwater mussel that contain source of animal protein and main source of minerals
needed by body. Thus, this research reports on the study in development of meat patties
incorporated with Asiatic hard clam. There will be five formulation of meat patties with
different percentage of commercial surimi and Asiatic hard clam (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80%).
Physicochemical analysis will be conducted for the most acceptable formulations. The
acceptability of produced meat patties will be evaluated through sensory evaluation. At
least one of formulations will be accepted.
