ABSTRACT
Research has been conducted to determine the effect of fat substitution with buckwheat preparation on colour and lipid stability during 30 days of storage at 4°C in aspect of preparation usefulness as fat replacement in comminuted meat products. The results indicate the influence of fat substitution with buckwheat preparation on the colour changes of comminuted meat products as well as lipid oxidation. The reduction of fat level decreased the lightness and increased the redness, although yellowness was only slightly affected. During the storage of meat products slight changes of CIE L*a*b* parameters were noted. TBA values increased for all options after 10 days since the production but decreased for options with fat substitution with buckwheat preparations after 20 days since the production and increased for controls.
Key words: meat product, buckwheat, texture, colour.
