Composition of a moringa-tofu sausage

Abstract

The present utility model relates to a novel sausage composition combining plantbased and animal-based ingredients to achieve desirable texture, flavor, and enhanced nutrition. The composition includes finely chopped tofu, washed moringa leaves, ground pork, all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, whole egg, minced garlic, and spices. This formulation significantly increases vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, and protein while reducing fat and carbohydrates compared to conventional sausages. A key technical solution is an overnight chilling step that improves cohesiveness and moldability without synthetic additives. The mixture is molded using plastic cling wrap into uniform sausage shapes for storage and cooking. This process preserves the nutritional benefits of moringa and tofu and ensures structural integrity despite the high moisture content. The utility model offers a cost-effective, protein-rich alternative that supports healthier diets and meets consumer demand for nutritious, convenient foods.
