Studies on Texture of Some Foods

Food texture is important in product development, quality control, sensory testing, and process engineering. Fortunately, there have been efforts to fully characterize the texture of many food products with methods such as Texture Profile Analysis (TPA). Knowing how to effectively characterize the texture of a food product allows one to constantly improve formulations, processing methods, product stability, and shelf life. Camel meat is healthier as they produce carcasses with less fat as well as having less levels of cholesterol in fat than other meat animals, This is an important factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is related to saturated fat consumption, Camel meat is also used for remedial purposes for diseases such as hyperacidity, hypertension, pneumonia and respiratory disease as well as an aphrodisiac. There for in this book meat (beef and camel) were used to prepare burger and sausage blends at different ratios of defatted soybean flour use in producing burger and sausage.
