Abstract:The research was conducted to investigate the formulation of restructured goose livers, goose liver, chicken, tapioca starch, and soy protein were used as the primary ingredients. The cross linking effect of transglutaminase (TGase) was employed to enhance the gel properties of the restructured goose livers product. Single-factor experiments, orthogonal tests, and fuzzy mathematics methods were adopted to optimize the formulation of the restructured goose livers, with sensory evaluation, cooking loss rate, and textural characteristics serving as evaluation indicators. The results revealed that,based on the combined weight of goose liver and chicken meat, the optimal formulation for the restructured goose livers product was as follows: 25wt.% goose liver, 75wt.% chicken, 1.75wt.% TGase, 10wt.% tapioca starch, and 2.75wt.% soy protein. Under these conditions, the restructured goose livers product exhibited a cooking loss rate of 0.13%, a whiteness of 54.87, a hardness of 27.77 N, an elasticity of 4.56 mm, and a chewiness of 83.32 mj. The product surface was smooth, with good chewiness and elasticity, a compact structure, rich flavor, and an overall quality score of 89.60 points, which was not significantly different from the model-predicted score of 87.15 points. The findings of this research provide a theoretical basis for the deep processing and product diversification of ordinary goose livers.
