abstract
Beef broth is a high protein, high salt by-product that has potential to improve the palatability of low-fat meat products. Low-fat ground beef with 2 or 3% added beef broth (BB) and 7 or 8% added water were compared to formulations with salt in an amount equal to the salt in the BB formulations and to a 16% fat, all-beef control (no salt). Patties were cooked on a grill or broiler and analyzed for sensory desirability, texture and cooked characteristics. Low-fat BB patties were equal to or more desirable for all sensory traits compared to other low-fat patty formulations and control patties. Control patties required more force to shear and were harder and chewier than BB patties (P<0.01). Grilled patties were rated higher for sensory tenderness, but were harder to compress than broiled patties (P<0.05). Acceptable low-fat ground beef patties were manufactured with a combination of spray dried beef broth and added water.
