3.5. Sensory properties of fish ballsTable 3 presents effects of vegetable oils on the sensory characteristics of fish balls. When vegetable oils were added into fishballs, especially at 30 g/kg, there were some changes (P < 0.05) inthe sensory properties of fish balls, except the color. For the taste,there was no significant difference among fish balls with/withoutvegetable oils, except 30 g/kg peanut oil. Fish balls with 30 g/kgvegetable oils had lower scores (P < 0.05) in elasticity and texturethan control and those with 10 g/kg. Moreover, fish balls with cornoil and rap oil, especially in 30 g/kg, were less elastic and softer thancontrol and fish balls with soybean oil and peanut oil, which was inagreement with results from breaking force (Fig. 1). For overalllikeness, there was no significant difference between control andfish balls with 10 g/kg vegetable oils, but there were significantdifferences between control and fish balls with 30 vegetable oils. Ingeneral, the panelists accepted fish balls with 10 g/kg vegetable oilsin term of taste, color and overall likeness
