Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of food biotechnology, and in particular to a method for reducing the fat content of authentic sausage by utilizing sweet potato flour and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's enthusiasm for meat products continues to rise. As one of the main meat products, authentic sausage is popular all over the world because of its convenience, rich taste and unique flavor. In the production process of authentic sausage, the fat in the meat works together with other ingredients to form a stable emulsion, which is a key factor in regulating the rheological and texture properties of the product. This emulsion helps to minimize water evaporation during cooking and baking, while enhancing water retention and cohesion, and ultimately makes the finished product juicy and balanced in hardness and softness. According to market research, the fat content (including trans fatty acids, cholesterol and saturated fatty acids) of authentic sausage products on the market is between 25% and 40%. Excessive fat content can have adverse effects on human health. Studies have shown that the lipid content in processed meat products is closely related to the risk of obesity and the incidence of diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. To solve this problem, some food manufacturers choose to directly reduce the fat content in traditional sausage recipes to prevent consumers from consuming too much fat. However, reducing the fat content will lead to increased water loss during freezing, thawing and cooking of sausages, a continuous decrease in hardness, and the final product becomes loose and generally unacceptable.
[0003] In recent years, researchers have found that the use of various non-meat ingredients (such as protein-based, lipid-based and starch-based fat substitutes) to replace animal fat in appropriate amounts can effectively reduce the fat content of various products without compromising their structure, flavor and taste. In addition, these substitutes have no adverse effects on human health. However, protein-based fat substitutes are not heat-resistant and are prone to change the flavor and structure during the steaming, baking or roasting of sausages, which limits their application. Lipid-based substitutes can reduce calorie intake without affecting the edibility and appearance of the product. However, studies have found that some lipid-based substitutes are difficult to be hydrolyzed by lipase, so they cannot be metabolized and absorbed, which may have potential adverse effects on the digestive tract. Compared with proteins and lipids, starch-based fat substitutes are safer to use in foods heated at high temperatures. Starch-based fat substitutes have attracted much attention because of their cheap raw materials and excellent performance. At present, there are many types of starch that can be used to prepare fat substitutes. Using one or more low-calorie starch-based substitutes in the ingredients of meat sausages can more easily meet consumers' demand for low-fat meat products. However, after undergoing the gelatinization process, starch often faces the challenge of retrogradation, which can lead to deterioration of food taste, decreased digestion and absorption efficiency, and a series of characteristics that are not conducive to food processing, such as increased viscosity and decreased solubility. These changes can significantly affect the sensory experience and texture of the final product, which may cause consumer dissatisfaction. In addition, starch, as a carbohydrate, will quickly break down into glucose and enter the blood after being ingested, which will cause a sharp increase in blood sugar levels. This drastic fluctuation in blood sugar may not only pose a potential threat to the health of the general population, but may also have an adverse effect on diabetic patients, making it more difficult to manage their condition. Therefore, when using starch as a food ingredient, it is necessary to fully consider its retrogradation characteristics and its effect on blood sugar, and through scientific formula design and processing technology, to maximize the taste, texture and nutritional value of the food while ensuring the health of consumers.
[0004] Sweet potato flour, as a food ingredient rich in dietary fiber, resistant starch, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, has attracted much attention in recent years due to its many health benefits. Studies have shown that the dietary fiber and resistant starch in sweet potato flour have multiple physiological functions such as lowering blood lipids, improving intestinal health, and preventing obesity. Therefore, using sweet potato flour to reduce intestinal fat content has broad application prospects.
[0005] In view of the above conclusions, the present invention provides a method for reducing the fat content of authentic sausage by applying whole sweet potato flour to the authentic sausage. First, the whole sweet potato flour is enzymatically modified to improve its water absorption and water retention, and the fat in the authentic sausage is replaced in a reasonable proportion to effectively reduce the fat content of the authentic sausage, while protecting the structure, flavor and taste of the authentic sausage during the freezing, thawing, baking and cooking processes.
