Abstract:

Effect of high-pressure treatment on quality of pork meatballs was investigated. Results indicated that a significant decrease for water content and increase for pH and elasticity were observed in pork meatballs as the increase of high pressure. L* and TBARS values reached the highest at the pressure of 300 MPa and 400 MPa, respectively. In contrast, hardness of pork meatballs exhibited a decrease as the increase of high pressure below 300 MPa; while an increase as the increase of high pressure above 300 MPa. An enhanced sensory evaluation was achieved through high-pressure treatment in the range of 200-400 MPa.

Key words: pork meatball, high-pressure, property
