THE INFLUENCE OF VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN CONCENTRATIONS AND STORAGE TIME ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND TEXTURAL PROPERTIES OF PLANT-BASED PATTY
ood consumers' interest in vegetarian diets and plant-based food eating have been
increasing in recent years. Many of the available plant-based meat products contain vital wheat gluten
(VWG) as one of its major proteins which raises a concern to the increasing number of people with
gluten intolerance. This study was done to analyze the effect of different vital wheat gluten
concentration (50%, 25%, 12% and 0%) on the physicochemical properties of plant-based patty
including: color, pH, cooking loss, water holding capacity (WHC), texture, hardness and springiness, as
well as to evaluate the effect of storage times (0, 3, 6 days) on those properties. The results show that
the reduction of the VWG concentrations (from 50% to 0%) has a significant effect (P
