Yield (%) was measured by weighing the product before and after cooking, and weight ratio between after and before cooking corresponds to weight loss due to heating. This parameter was measured
on a pressiometer (WW-3 Nanjing, Jiangsu Province,China). For each treatment of 20 sausage cores
(diameter 2.5 cm, height 1 cm) are held with a 69.44 N press for 10 min at room temperature. Results are expressed as percentage of fluid released.
