Notes:
Sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) is currently used by the sausage industry to accelerate development of cured meat color. The cured color accelerator was examined, through sensory evaluation and instrumental measurements, for its effects on the texture of frankfurters. The effects of SAPP on other sensory properties and on chemical and physical characteristics were also examined. SAPP was found to slightly improve texture by increasing springiness, hardness, and awareness of skin, and by reducing oiliness. SAPP had no detrimental effects on texture. SAPP caused a slight improvement in flavor by enhancing beef, salt, smoke, and seasoning flavors, and by diminishing fat flavor. and mouthfeel. However, the presence of SAPP resulted in intensified sour flavor and decreased aroma and flavor of pork. SAPP did not greatly reduce residual nitrite levels or increase the development of meat color. SAPP effectively lowered viscosity of the emulsion and held emulsion temperature down during emulsification. Unlike alkaline phosphates, SAPP did not improve moisture retention or cook yields; it had no effect on proximate analysis. SAPP did cause an increase in exudate formation in stored vacuum-sealed packages of frankfurters.
