Abstract

In this study pH, water holding capacity and cooking yield of meats (Mackerel, Catfish and Pork) and their corresponding sausages were determined. Acidity (pH) and water holding capacity were also determined. Sensory evaluation was conducted using a Hedonic scale rating in order to evaluate consumer acceptability of the sausages. Sausage appearance, taste, texture, juiciness, flavour, mouthfeel, and overall acceptability were evaluated on a scale of 1 (Dislike Extremely) to 9 (Like Extremely). Pork and catfish sausages recorded significantly (p<0.05) higher water holding capacity than mackerel sausage in both raw and cooked forms. Also pH of mackerel and catfish were higher (P<0.05) than pork in both raw and cooked states. Most of the sensory panelists prefer pork sausage to fish sausages. It was concluded that though catfish frankfurter-type sausage had high cooking yield but majority of consumers prefer pork sausage.
