Pure cellulose (Solka-Floc), microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), and a soluble gum (Nutriloid Fiberplus) were added to ground pork at 3.5% and 7.0% based on total dietary fiber content of each ingredient. Texture and cooking characteristics were determined on the patties from all treatments and compared to a control. The two cellulose products at 3.5% most closely resembled the control. The two cellulose products at 7.0% exhibited more hardness, whereas the gum products at 3.5% and 7.0% showed less springiness (elasticity). Cooking losses declined as fiber concentration increased from 3.5% to 7.0% for all cellulose products, but increased for the gum products. The Avicel products at 3.5% and 7.0% and Solka-Floc product at 7.0% exhibited significantly less change in diameter (patty shrinkage).
