4. Conclusions
It is noted that gelatin and carrageenan are hydrocolloid which formed defined structures that undergo various changes during cooking and freezing, resulting in different cooking gain, texture profile analysis values (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness and chewiness), WHC, and rheological properties of chicken ball. Re-sults in this study showed that the effects of carrageenan, gelatin, and meat concentrations were statistically significant for optimi-zation of chicken ball, improving the quality of the processed meat product (chicken ball). Second-order polynomial models were ob-tained for predicting texture profile analysis (hardness, elasticity,
