Notes:
Mixtures of ground chicken thigh meat and fat were formulated to contain 5, 10, 15, and 20% fat. Hunter color values, drip and cooking losses, proximate composition, texture profiles, and rates of microbial spoilage were compared for patties prepared from the mixtures. Raw patties became lighter and more yellow as fat content increased but cooking obscured these trends. As fat content increased, cooking losses and moisture:protein ratios increased. Lower fat patties were harder, springier, less cohesive and chewier than patties containing higher fat levels. Rates of bacterial spoilage were unaffected by fat content.
