Abstract
The report presents formulations of dehydrated compressed comminuted meat products with controlled rehydration properties. Meatballs and pork sausages are deep-fat fried, freeze dried, slightly remoistened, compressed into blocks and then redried. Selection of suitable binder systems is vital for insuring adequate rehydration without overimbibition. Combinations of certain cross-linked and/or pregelatinized modified starches with small amounts of isolated wheat gluten were found to impart desired characteristics.Keywords
