Analysis of variance of beef
frankfurters indicated that only systems containing 3–7% tomato
pomace developed hardness, and chewiness as compared to control
preparations. The cooked meat emulsions of BF7 and BF0 had the
highest and lowest hardness and chewiness values, respectively. Significant
(p b 0.05) differences were observed in these parameters with an
increase in the amount of tomato pomace (up to 7%, w/w), while, there
were no significant (p N 0.05) differences in cohesiveness, adhesiveness
and springiness.
