NUTRITIONAL AND SENSORIAL CHARACTERISATION OF RAW DRY SALAMI WITH ADDITION OF GOJI AND NUTS
Abstract
Goji fruits (Lycium barbarum) are known for their very high content of antioxidants, supplemented by a high intake of vitamins, (including vitamins A, C and vitamins from the B complex), minerals (calcium, magnesium, selenium), proteins, fibers and amino acids. Thus, goji fruits have a very high nutritional potential, which is why their inclusion in the daily menu or their use for therapeutic purposes have proven extremely beneficial for the human body. Hazelnuts (Corylus avelana) and pistachios (Pistachia vera) are a great source of phytosterols, fibers and protein, also containing vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and vitamin E. The purpose of this study was to obtain a raw-dry salami with addition of goji fruits, hazelnut and pistachio, and to characterize our new formula in comparison with two types of salami from the local market, from the nutritional and sensory point of view. The total contents of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, mineral content, sodium chloride and moisture were determined. The results show that, compared to the salami sold on the market, our new formula - raw - dry salami with goji, hazelnut and pistachio has higher nutritional values. Regarding the sensory analysis, the tasters' preference was demonstrated for the salami with hazelnuts, pistachios and goji, this obtaining the highest scores in terms of texture, color, smell, taste and general acceptability. Consequently, we can observe that addition of goji berries, hazelnuts and pistachios when obtaining dry raw salami can optimize its nutritional and sensory quality.
