Effects of Sodium Tripolyphosphate and Ascorbic Acid Added with Glandless Cottonseed Flour to Ground Beef
1Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843.
Abstract:
Sodium tripolyphosphate (STP; 0.25%) or 0.05 or 0.10% ascorbic acid (AA) was added in combination with 3% defatted glandless cottonseed flour (GCF) to ground beef containing 22% fat and 0, 0.5 or 2.0% added salt. Patties made from the mixes were stored at 4 or -20°C, or at -20°C followed by storage at 4°C. Refrigerated patties or frozen-and-refrigerated patties containing GCF plus AA or GCF plus STP plus AA had higher (P<0.05) Hunter "a" values (redness) than those containing GCF alone or GCF plus STP. Frozen patties with GCF plus STP had higher (P<0.05) "a" values than those having other antioxidant treatments. STP and/or AA used in conjunction with GCF had no advantage over use of GCF singly for inhibiting lipid oxidation.

Sodium Regulation
Sodium ions make up approximately 90% of extracellular cations, with a normal blood plasma concentration of 136–148 mEq/L. A decrease in blood volume and pressure triggers the release of renin from granular cells in the juxtaglomerular complex (JGC), primarily...
