meatballs, as reported by Ulu (2004).
Ulu (2006) in his previous study reported that gain was signif-icantly higher for the carrageenan series. Particularly in the low fat meatballs with added carrageenan, gain and fat retention were higher (p < 0.05). Meanwhile Bater, Descamps, and Maurer (1993) reported that addition of 0.5 g/100 ml k-carrageenan to a restruc-tured turkey meat significantly increased product gain.
