Notes:
The sodium salts of tripolyphosphate, tetrapyrophosphate, L-ascorbate monophosphate, and L-ascorbate polyphosphate at 0.3% and L-ascorbic acid and sodium L-ascorbate at 0.1% were added to ground turkey and ground beef. Sensory attributes and hexanal content were evaluated immediately after cooking and after 1 and 3 days storage (4°C). Percentages of moisture and fat and nonheme iron were determined. All samples containing a phosphate salt had more meaty flavor and less stale and rancid flavor and aroma and contained less hexanal after 3 days storage than samples with no additive. The addition of phosphate salts decreased cooking losses but did not affect fat content. Phosphate salts decreased nonheme iron in cooked turkey patties but not in beef patties. The taste panel detected a very slight soapy flavor in patties with the addition of any phosphate salt at 0.3%.
