Research & Development<br />
Quality characteristics and shelf life evaluation of functional mutton patties<br />
ion chelators and singlet oxygen quenchers (MATHEW and ABRAHAM, 2006).<br />
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is one of the most important<br />
vegetables grown worldwide. It has been reported to contain high amount<br />
of DF and various bioactive compounds with high antioxidant activity. The<br />
protective action of cruciferous vegetables has been attributed to the<br />
presence of antioxidant phytochemicals especially antioxidant vitamins<br />
including ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene (PRIOR and<br />
CAO, 2000) and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, isoflavone,<br />
flavones, anthocyanin, catechin and isocatechin (WANG et al., 1996).<br />
Cabbage leaves powder contained approximately 41–43% total dietary<br />
fiber on dry weight basis (JONGAROONTAPRANGSEE et al., 2007).<br />
Red kidney beans are widely known for their fiber, minerals (Mo, Mn, P,<br />
Fe, Cu, Mg, K), vitamins (folate, thiamine and vitamin K) and protein contents<br />
(OSORIO-DIAZ et al., 2003).<br />
Polyphenols from dry beans may possibly act as antioxidants, hindering<br />
the formation of free radicals that eventually lead to the deterioration of<br />
biological molecules. Orange pulp, a citrus fruit by-product has high fiber<br />
and vitamin contents as well as other associated bioactive compounds<br />
such as flavonoids and terpenes which exhibit antioxidant properties<br />
(LARIO et al., 20<strong>04</strong>).<br />
Potential use of powders and extracts of different plant materials as<br />
biopreservatives and functional ingredients have been studied in recent<br />
years. Many natural antioxidants have been reported to be more active<br />
than synthetic antioxidants and the food application of these compounds<br />
need to be explored.<br />
The utilization of a blend of cabbage powder, red kidney bean powder<br />
and orange pulp as the source of antioxidants and dietary fiber, may offer<br />
meat processors the opportunity to develop novel meat products with<br />
enhanced nutritional and health benefits with improved shelf life and<br />
quality. In the light of the above discussion, the present study has been<br />
envisaged to assess the potential of orange pulp as the source of natural<br />
antioxidants and dietary fiber for the production of functional mutton<br />
patties.<br />
Materials and methods<br />
Source of materials<br />
Mutton was procured from the experimental abattoir of the Division of<br />
Livestock Products Technology, Indian Veterinary Research Institute,<br />
Izatnagar. Onion and garlic were procured from the local market of Bareilly.<br />
To prepare a condiment mix, onion and garlic were peeled off, cut into<br />
small pieces and homogenized separately in a kitchen mixer to obtain a<br />
fine paste and used in the ratio of 3:1. Refined salt (Tata Chemicals Ltd.,<br />
Mumbai), refined wheat flour (maida), orange pulp and LDPE pouches were<br />
purchased from the local market.<br />
The spice mix was prepared for mutton patties as per the standardized<br />
formulation. All the chemicals were obtained from standard firms (Qualigen,<br />
Hi-Media, SD Fine etc.). Nylon barrier pouches (150gauge) in natural<br />
colour were procured from M/s Hitkari Industries Ltd., New Delhi-14.<br />
Preparation of mutton patties<br />
Formulation: Lean mutton (70%), vegetable oil (10%), chilled water (9%),<br />
condiments (3.8%), refined wheat flour (3.5%), dry spices (1.5%), salt<br />
(1.6%), STPP (0.3%), sugar (0.3%) and nitrite (100mg.kg -1 ).<br />
Mutton was partially thawed overnight, cut into small chunks and double<br />
minced with an Electrolux meat mincer. The meat batter was prepared in a<br />
bowl chopper (Seydelmann K20, Ras, Germany). Pre-weighed quantities of<br />
minced mutton, salt, sodium triphosphate (STPP) and sodium nitrite was<br />
added and chopping was done for about 2 to 3min.<br />
It was chopped again for 2min after the addition of ice flakes. Refined<br />
vegetable oil was slowly incorporated while chopping till it was completely<br />
dispersed in the batter.<br />
Condiments, dry spice mix, refined wheat flour and the other ingredients<br />
were added. Chopping was continued till uniform dispersion of all the ingredients<br />
and desired consistency of the batter was achieved. Meat patties of<br />
about 70 g each were formed manually utilizing a Petri plate of 80 mm diameter.<br />
The mutton patties were cooked in hot air oven at 180 o C for 30 min with in<br />
between turning of patties once. The core temperature of cooked patties<br />
was recorded by using a probe thermometer to reach to 72 o C.<br />
Analytical procedure<br />
pH and emulsion stability<br />
The pH of emulsion as well as mutton patties was determined following<br />
TROUT et al. (1992) by a combination electrode digital pH meter (model CP<br />
901, century Instrument Ltd. India). The emulsion stability was determined<br />
as per the method of TOWNSEND et al. (1968) with some modifications.<br />
About 25 g each of batter was placed in polyethylene bags and heated at<br />
80 °C in a thermostatically controlled water bath for 20 min. After cooling<br />
and draining the exudate, the cooked batter mass was weighed and the<br />
yield was expressed as emulsion stability in percentage.<br />
Cooking yield<br />
Weights of raw and cooked mutton patties were recorded. The percent<br />
cooking yield for each mutton patties was calculated as follows:<br />
Proximate composition<br />
The moisture, protein, fat and ash content of the mutton patties were<br />
determined by standard methods using a hot air oven, Kjeldahl assembly,<br />
Soxhlet extraction apparatus and a Muffle furnace, respectively, as per<br />
AOAC (1995).<br />
Shear force value<br />
The shear force value was determined as per the method described by<br />
BERRY and STIFFLER (1981). It was measured as force required for shearing a<br />
1cm square block on a Warner-Bratzler Shear Press (81031307 GR Elec.<br />
MFG. Co. USA) and expressed in kg/cm 2 .<br />
Moisture and fat retention<br />
The moisture and fat retention values represent the amount of moisture<br />
and fat retained in the cooked product per 100gof raw sample. These<br />
values were calculated according to the following equations given by<br />
EL-MAGOLI et al. (1996).<br />
Reduction in diameter and thickness expansion<br />
The raw and cooked mutton patties diameter and thickness were measured<br />
by a vernier calliper at three different points. The change in mutton<br />
patties diameter and thickness was determined using the following equations:<br />
Total dietary fiber<br />
Total Dietary Fiber (TDF), Soluble Dietary Fiber (SDF) and Insoluble Dietary<br />
Fiber (IDF) were determined by slight modification of an enzymatic method<br />
given by FURDA (1981).
