Use of linseed and coconut flours in chicken patties as gluten free extenders

Abstract

Patties were extended with gluten free flours (linseed flour: LF, coconut flour: CF and their combination: LC) at a level of 5%. Control sample (B) was formulated with the same level of breadcrumbs. Using gluten free extenders did not change the water holding capacity (WHC); however, improved cooking yield resulted (P<0.05). Similarly, LF, CF and LC patties had lower diameter reduction and thickness change compared to the control sample (P<0.05). Due to color differences between breadcrumbs and gluten-free flours, color values of patties were affected significantly by the extender type (P<0.05). LF patties had the lowest L∗ and b∗, the highest a∗ values within all patty groups. Different trends were observed in TBARS values of patties during storage, but in any case, all patties had TBARS values lower than 2.0 mg MA/kg throughout the storage. No significant differences were observed in patties' sensory properties.
