| dc.description.abstract | The red meat is known as highly nutrition food. But is also highly perishable. Therefore, meat processing is an effort to improve self-life and to obtain added value. The objective of study is to examine the physical and palatability properties of beef sausage by the addition of carragenan. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with four levels of arrageenan concentration namely 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% assitin of carragenan the parameters observed included pH value, water holding capacity, stability of emulsion and palatability propertiesof beef sausage such as the tase, colour textur and aroma. Resuls of the study showed that there were signifant differences (P<0,01) beetwen tretmeens in pH, water holding capacity of beef sausage. Icreased concentration of carragenan whould resulted in higher pH value, water holding capacity of beef sausage. However, the addition of carragenan did not markedly change the preperence of beef sausage. | id |
