Similarly, the texture data indicated that incorporation of 5 g kg-1 soluble fiber (USP) to the finger formula resulted in a detectable tender texture compared with the two other treatments (P 0.05).Altogether, these results are similar to those reported with the texture instrumental evaluations (Table 3). In agreement, Pinero et al. (2008) reported a significant increase in juiciness score in beef patties with added oat’s soluble fiber (P 0.05). Conversely, Choi et al. (2012) described a decreasing trend in the tenderness and juiciness of beef patties with Laminaria jacopina powder concentration of higher than 30 g kg-1, remarking the impact of the amount and type of dietary fibers added to different meat products.
