Notes:
The acceptability of low-fat pork sausage, formulated by replacing fat with added water, was studied. Six sausage blends, consisting of three fat levels (15, 25 and 35%) and two levels of added water (3 and 13%) were stratified across two packaging treatments, chubpacks or mechanically formed patties. Increased amounts of added water in low-fat sausage resulted in cooking losses, color and textural characteristics similar to control sausage. Sensory panel ratings did not differ between sausage formulated to contain 35% fat (3% added water) and those containing 15% fat. Acceptable lower fat pork sausage may be produced with 15% fat if water is used for the replacement of fat.
