Physical Characteristics of Meat Chicken Cull Egg Sausage With The Addition Of Tapioca Flour
Sausages are crushed meat mixed with spices, then put in casings from animal intestine or oval shaped plastic, slightly flattened and elongated. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the level of tapioca flour addition on the physical characteristics of the chicken cull egg sausage. The research material is the rejected laying hen meat taken in the muscles of the chest and thighs, tapioca flour and a number of seasonings. 2,000 grams of chicken meat were randomly divided into parts into 4 treatments with 3 replications: 0% (P1), 10% (P2), 20% (P3) and 30% (P4). The research began with the provision of commercial tapioca flour and continued with the production of sausages using conventional methods. Testing the physical characteristics of sausages: The water binding capacity (DIA) was carried out by the Hamm method, cooking losses by the boiling method, tenderness by the Warner-Bratzler method and the pH value by the Ockerman method. The sausage physical characteristics data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance based on a Completely Randomized Directional Pattern design and continued with Duncan's New Multiple Range Test. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the level of tapioca flour addition in the process of making chicken sausage had a significant effect (P <0.05) on DIA and cooking losses, while pH and tenderness had no significant effect (P> 0.05). The addition of tapioca flour at the level of 10% gives a normal sausage pH of 6.03 ± 0.06 and cooking losses of 13.33 ± 5.77%.
