Sensory and Physicochemical Properties of Smoked Catfish Sausages

The objective of this study was to determine the physiochemical characteristics and sensory quality of smoked, coarse-ground catfish sausages and catfish frankfurters by using 100% fillets, 75% fillets with 25% nuggets, and 50% fillets with 50% nuggets (the proportions of fillets and nuggets equaled 100% for each of the three formulations). Pork fat was added to each formulation to bring the final fat content to 20%. Lightness (L*) decreased (p 0.05) by catfish fillet percentage but were affected (p 0.05) in consumer acceptability among frankfurter samples, with all samples receiving average scores between “like moderately” a...
