Detection of amaranth as an additive in meat products using histochemical methods
This work deals with the microscopic characterisation of amaranth seed and amaranth flour in model meat products using histochemical methods. Amaranth is used as an additive in meat products. Grit made of crude amaranth seeds had a positive effect on water-holding capacity of stuffing and allowed a reduction to cooking losses in cans. This improved … [Read more…]
