    Abstract

    Perceived flavour and texture attributes of ready-to-eat, stored beefburgers after microwave oven heating were studied by sensory descriptive profiling and instrumental texture profile. Based on an experimental design, three enzymes, each on three concentration levels, were added to the patty dough, improvement of the sensory quality of the beefburgers being the objective. The sensory profiles of the microwavable beefburgers could be modified by enzyme treatments. A roasted, crispy surface was generated using high exopeptidase activity containing protease alone or together with transglutaminase, and small exopeptidase addition alone balanced the flavour.
