Abstract:
This research aimed to study the effect of using pork belly and different parts of broiler chicken meat on the quality of HerbSaiOua (Spicy Thai Herb Sausage). The experiment was divided into 5 groups depended on meat material that consisted of pork belly (control), chicken filet, chickenbreast, chickenthigh and chicken drumstick to produce HerbSaiOua. The experimental design used in this experiment was Completely Randomized Design (CRD). After the production, the HerbSaiOua was analyzed the % cooking loss, proximate analysis (moisture content, protein, fat, fiber, ash and energy), sensory evaluation (Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD)) and the production cost.The results showed that % cooking loss after cooking of the HerbSaiOua using pork belly was the highest and the HerbSaiOua using chicken filet was the lowest when compared with the other groups (P<0.05). The highest moisture content and protein were detected from the HerbSaiOua using chicken filet but the fat percentage was the lowest when compared with the other groups (P<0.05).The HerbSaiOua using pork belly was the highest in fat percentage and energy (P<0.05). Every HerbSaiOua had fiber percentage between 0.75-1.79(P<0.05). The HerbSaiOua using chicken filet had the highest ash content (P<0.05). The sensory evaluation was conducted using the different characteristics consisted of the appearance, color, odor, texture, taste and overall acceptance. The consumers liked the HerbSaiOua using broiler chicken meat more than the pork belly. The highest overall acceptance was obtained from the HerbSaiOua using chickenthigh (P<0.05). The cost of non-cookingHerbSaiOua1 kilogram of meat material, the HerbSaiOua using pork belly had the highest cost and the HerbSaiOua using chickenbreast had lowest cost.
