Blackcurrant Pomace Extract as a Natural Antioxidant in Vienna Sausages Reformulated by Replacement of Pork Backfat with Emulsion Gels Based on High Oleic Sunflower and Flaxseed Oils.

ABSTRACT: The incorporation of a blackcurrant pomace extract (BPE) at 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% into an emulsion gel based on high oleic sunflower and linseed oils was examined in order to obtain a functional ingredient to be used as a pork backfat replacer in Vienna sausages. The replacement of the pork backfat with the control emulsion gel reduced the cooking loss but negatively affected the color by decreasing L* and a* values as compared with the traditional product. A decrease in the n-6/n-3 ratio from 10.99 to around 1.54 (by 7 times) was achieved through reformulation, while the PUFA/SFA ratio increased from 0.49 to 1.09. The incorporation of BPE did not have a major impact on the fatty acid profile and improved color by increasing redness, but negatively affected the texture by increasing hardnes
