Despite the significant effect of storage period on the CY values of all treatments, no obvious trend was observed in any of the treatments. Similar results reported by San- chez-Alonso and Borderias (2008). Changes in the CY values during frozen storage as a function of treatments, showed a higher CY values in Tsp than those of Tsw and Tc though they were not significant in all months of storage (P [ 0.05); such significant differences was only observed in months of 1 and 6 (P 0.05). There was also no significant difference between Tsw and Tsp except in the last month of storage (P 0.05). Similar results were obtained on the addition of 5 g kg-1 Laminaria digitata polysaccharides to cooked minced pork patties (Moroney et al. 2013). In contrast to our results, Choi et al. (2012) found that the addition of 10–30 g kg-1 Laminaria japonica powder significantly decreased the cooking loss of pork patties, and as the levels of dietary fiber increased, the CY also increased significantly.
