Pork as boneless leg meat was purchased from a local market in Bangkok, Thailand. All fat and connective
tissue (epimysium) were removed from the muscles. Lean meat was ground through a 2 mm plate grinder. The
ground meat was packed in plastic bags and stored at -20°C for use within 24 h. The low fat meatballs were
produced according to the scheme in Fig. 1. The low fat meatballs were made from different amounts (0%, 1%, 2%,
3% and 4%) of corn silk. The product formulation for the experiments is presented in table 1.
