Abstract

In this study, amaranth seed flour was used in four levels (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10%) as a fat substitute in the burger recipe prepared from veal. The characteristics of the produced burgers, such as chemical composition, texture, color, cooking loss and sensory properties were evaluated. The results of three replicates were analyzed in a completely randomized factorial design. The results showed that increasing the amaranth seed meal increased the protein, ash, and moisture content of the burger samples and significantly decreased the cooking loss (p <0.05). Texture evaluation of the burgers showed an increase in stiffness, gumminess, and chewiness, a decrease in cohesiveness, and no significant change in elasticity due to the use of amaranth flour in the burger formulation. The sensory evaluation showed that despite the negative effects of amaranth seed flour on all sensory properties of the burgers, the use of a maximum of 5% amaranth seed flour in the burger recipe is acceptable to consumers.
