Abstract: Vegetable-catfish patty was prepared from catfish surimi and one of five vegetable powders (carrot, celery, parsley, cucumber and spinach). Investigations were carried out to explore the effects of different varieties and amounts of vegetable powders on quality characteristics of vegetable-catfish patty such as cooking loss rate, color difference, texture, water loss rate and sensory evaluation. The results indicated that the appropriate amounts of carrot, celery, parsley, cucumber and spinach powders separately added to catfish patty were in the range of 4%—6%. Carrot-catfish patty showed the best quality.
