The aim of this study was to investigate levels of inulin and pectin replacing pork back fat in meat batter (MB) formulation. Six treatments were evaluated: T1, control MB (100% pork back fat); T2, MB + 70% pork back fat (low fat); T3, MB + 85% pork back fat + 15% inulin; T4, MB + 70% pork back fat + 30% inulin; T5, MB + 85% pork back fat + 7.5% inulin + 7.5% pectin; and T6, MB + 70% pork back fat + 15% inulin + 15% pectin. T6 reduced pH, maintained brightness (L*), increased redness (a*), yellowness (b*), Chroma, and browning index (BI); T4 decreased a*, b*, BI, and water holding capacity but increased the total color change (∆E), cooking loss, and total expressible fluid. The addition of 15% inulin and 15% pectin can be used to replace fat without affecting the physical properties of MB.
