Minced pork was assigned to one of the following five
treatments: untreated pork (control); pork plus increasing
amounts of GSE: 400 lg GSE/g muscle (GSE 400);
1000 lg/g muscle (GSE 1000); or increasing amounts of
BB: 80 lg BB/g muscle (BB 80) and 1000 lg/g muscle
(BB 1000). Samples were formed into 80 g pork patties as
described above and cooked in a fan-assisted oven (Model
10 GN1/1, Zanussi Professional, Conegliano, Italy) at
180 C until an internal meat temperature of 72 C was
reached and subsequently held at 180 C for a further
8 min. Following cooling, cooked patties were packaged
as described above, packs were flushed with 70% N2: 30%
CO2 and stored for up to 4 days under fluorescent lighting
conditions (approximately 660 lx) at 4 C.
