Texture profile analysis (TPA) was performed in raw and cooked
samples at 4 ± 1 C with a Texture Analyzer TA-XT2
Cubic samples (1 1 1 cm)were cut from burgers and subjected to a two-cycle compression
test. Samples were compressed to 70% of their original height witha cylindrical probe of 10 cm diameter at a compression load of25 kg, and a cross-head speed of 20 cm/min.
