Application of Raw and Defatted by Supercritical CO₂ Hemp Seed Press-Cake and Sweet Grass Antioxidant Extract in Pork Burger Patties

anglais. There is an increasing tendency toward the application of plant origin ingredients in meatproducts. This study evaluates the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of porkburger patties produced with the addition of dried raw and defatted by supercritical CO2 extractionhemp seed press-cake as protein-rich ingredients (1.5–2.0%) and sweet grass ethanolic extract (0.5%)as a strong natural antioxidant. The main aim of using such a combination was to assess the possibilityof mitigating the negative effects of hemp seed press-cake, containing approx. 10% of highlyunsaturated oil, on the oxidation of meat products. The patties were compared with the controlsample (without additives) during storage on days 0, 4, 8, 15, and 21 at 4 °C in modified atmosphereconditions. Plant ingredients reduced the lightness of pork patties, while their effects on other physicochemicalcharacteristics were insignificant. The patties with fully defatted hemp seed flourshowed the lowest grilling losses. Based on the measurement of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances,raw hemp seed press-cake increased the oxidative rate of pork patties; however, remarkably,the addition of sweet grass extract completely inhibited oxidation during the whole period ofstorage. The sensory characteristics of the products were acceptable; however, the patties with sweetgrass extract received lower evaluation scores.
