The aim of this work determined the technological, nutritional and sensory characteristics of pork burgers, added
with different concentrations (2.5 and 5%) of passion fruit albedo (PFA) co-product, obtained from passion fruit
juice processing. The addition of PFA on pork burgers improves their nutritional value (higher fiber content). In
rawand cooked burger, all textural parameters, except springiness and cohesiveness, were affected by the incorporation
of PFA. PFA addition was found to be effective improving the cooking yield, moisture retention and fat
retention. The raw and cooked pork burgers added with PFA had lower TBA values and lower counts of aerobic
mesophilic bacteria and enterobacteria than the control samples. No Escherichia coli and molds were found in
the samples. The overall acceptability scores showed that the most appreciated sample was the one containing
2.5% PFA. According to the results obtained, 2.5 and 5% of PFA addition can be recommended in pork burger production
as a new dietary fiber source.
