Innovative formulation in pâté using a gelled emulsion of hemp oil (Cannabis sativa L.) as fat replacer

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of the partial replacement (10 and 20%) of animal fat by a gelled emulsion based on hemp oil and buckwheat flour (hemp-GE) in a traditional pâte was assessed. For that, the nutritional composition, physico-chemical properties, lipid profile, lipid oxidation and sensory properties were evaluated. Hemp-GE had a positive effect in the reduction of cholesterol and improved the n-6/n-3 and PUFA/SFA nutritional ratios which is in line with the nutritional recommendations for the development of healthier meat products. Although reformulated pâtes resulted more susceptible to lipid oxidation and some of their physicochemical properties were modified, these changes were not sufficiently intense to diminish the sensory acceptance of the new product. Structuring healthy vegetal oils employing gelled emulsions in view of using them as partial animal fat replacers in traditional meat products seems to be a useful strategy to make them healthier. • Reformulation of traditional pâté to make it healthier without affecting its quality. • Gelled emulsions with hemp oil and buckwheat flour as animal fat replacer (10 & 20%). • Healthier lipid profile (increase PUFA and omega-3 content and decrease cholesterol). • Faster lipid oxidation but below the detection limit of consumers. • Caring for the gastronomy heritage by adapting to current consumer demands.
