Development of recipescooked sausage products enriched with chlorella

The meat industry is constantly undergoing transformations and moves in accordance with global trends and basic consumer requests.Accordingly, there is a problem of increasing the nutritional and biological value of common food products, in particular cooked sausages. Development of health facilitiesof meat products enriched with plant components is the main goal that arose during the performance of this work. Improvement of the recipe of cooked sausage products due to the use of available chlorella seaweedvaluablea source of antioxidants, dietary fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals is a promising solution. The difference between the developed minced meat recipe and the control is the use of chlorella, the replacement of lard, which is traditionally used in similar recipes, with linseed and olive oils, and the complete replacement of sodium nitrite with ascorbic acid. Comparative studies were performed using three different formulations containing 1% chlorella hydrated with water and milk whey in a ratio of 1:5 for 20 minutes at a temperature of 40º C. During the work, organoleptic (appearance, color, texture, taste and smell) and physical and chemical research methods (moisture, fat, protein, salt content). It was shown that the experimental samples of minced meat contained protein in amounts of 13.51% for sample 3; 12.77% for sample 2 and 12.36% for sample 1. The moisture content of the experimental samples exceeds the control by 2.86% for sample 3, by 1.86% for sample 2, and by 0.69% for sample 1. According to the mass fraction of fat, all samples are within the normal range and amount to less than 30%, which correspondsthe national standard for this type of product. Modification of the recipe using chlorella, linseed and olive oil differs from the control sample, which is reflected in the results of the organoleptic evaluation. According to the results of comprehensive studies, experimental formulation sample 3 can be recommended for implementation.
