Efeito do teor de gordura na elaboração de mortadela utilizando carne de caprinos e de ovinos de descarte

Abstract

The use of meat from animals of disposal, in the preparation of processed adds them to the sale value, create jobs, and provides diversification of products offered to consumers. However, the sausage typically have large amounts of lipids in their composition to achieve the desirable sensory qualities to this type of product, generating negative attitude to them as part of a consumer market hungry for healthier products. A possible solution to this impasse is to use lowfat meats such as beef and goats and sheep. This study aimed to present new options for the use of goat meat and sheep culling through studies of the effect of fat in the preparation of mortadella goats and sheep with details of the microbiological quality, chemical, physical and sensorial this product and to determine its shelf-life in cold storage. For each type of meat were prepared mortadella added 10, 20 and 30% fat pigs. The meat used as raw material for the preparation of sausages as well as products made with different percentages of lipids showed microbiological and physical chemistry in accordance with existing legislation. In evaluating the sensory quality of products, except for the texture attribute of formulations added 10% lipids, all other parameters were obtained acceptance rate exceeding 70%, therefore, all formulations sensory acceptability. In the evaluation of shelf-life in four storage times (1, 10, 20 and 30 days), all formulations were within the recommended by law as to the physico-chemical and microbiological being thus able to human consumption. It follows therefore that the use of cuts of meat from animals of disposal is a viable alternative for the formulation of sausage, because it generates high-quality products microbiological, physical and chemical in accordance with the law and good sensory acceptance.
