Elaboration of Vienna-type Sausage from Jumbo squid pulp (Dosidicus gigas)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is an abundant and nutritious marine resource with the potential to diversify the food industry through value-added products. The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing a vienna-type sausage using jumbo squid pulp, optimizing its formulation and sensory acceptability. Three formulations with 5%, 8%, and 10% starch were developed. The process included conditioning, leaching, grinding, homogenization, stuffing, blanching, cooling, and refrigeration. Acceptability was evaluated by a panel of 30 untrained judges using the Friedman test. Chemical-nutritional and microbiological analyses were conducted to determine the product’s nutritional value and safety. The formulation with 8% starch received the highest acceptance in flavor, appearance, and texture. The optimal processing parameters were: emulsification at 10 °C, cooking at 70 °C for 23 min, and cooling at 2–4 °C for 5 min, resulting in energy savings compared to other formulations. Per 100 g, the product contained 17.4 g protein, 1.2 g fat, 1.3 g carbohydrates, and 125 Kcal, with lower fat and calorie content than the control sausage. Microbiological analyses confirmed its safety, showing low aerobic counts and absence of pathogens. The production of Vienna-type sausage based on jumbo squid pulp proved viable, offering nutritional, sensory, and sanitary, advantages for the diversification of fishery products.
