The addition of GSE exerted a greater effect, compared
to BB, on the colour stability of cooked pork patties stored
for up to 4 days at 4 C. Addition of GSE (1000 lg/g), significantly
increased (P < 0.05) the ‘a’ redness values of
cooked pork patties, relative to controls, over the 4-day
storage period (Table 4). This increase in colour was not
perceived as negative by the in-house sensory panel with
respect to overall product quality.
