This study demonstrated that partial replacement of fat with konjac–potato starch mixed gels resulted in similar textural characteristics to reduced-fat frankfurters and overall sensory quality comparing with the reduced-fat or high-fat controls. Addition of konjac–potato starch mixed gels to reduced-fat frankfurter could not only provide perception of “healthy food” but also produce a comparable product to regular high-fat frankfurter in light of textural
and sensory traits. Therefore, it appears feasible and effective to incorporate konjac–potato starch mixed gels at current tested levels to reduced-fat frankfurter for acceptable sensory merits with reasonable shelf-life.
