Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of replacing pork backfat with rice bran wax oleogels on the
organoleptic properties of frankfurter-type finely-comminuted sausages. Frankfurters were formulated using the
following treatments as lipid replacement: 1) pork fat (PF); 2) soybean oil (SBO); 3) 2.5% rice bran wax oleogel
(2.5 RBW); 4) 10% rice bran wax oleogel (10 RBW); and 5) 2.5% rice bran wax oleogel sheared less during
frankfurter production (RBW/LS). In general, control PF was darker and redder than other treatments. TPA
revealed oleogel treatments to be similar (P > .05) to pork fat treatment for firmness, chewiness, and
springiness. Additionally, sensory evaluation revealed that replacing pork fat did not influence cured frankfurter
aroma, but cured frankfurter flavor was significantly reduced (P < .05). Furthermore, lipid oxidation significantly
(P < .05) differed between PF and 10 RBW. The results show that rice bran wax oleogels have the
potential to successfully replace pork fat in comminuted products.
