Abstract

Defatted corn germ protein (CGP), hand separated spleen (1155) in two forms i.e. raw HSS or defatted 1-155 slurry, and HSS-CGP slurry were incorporated at 5 to 35 percent in ground buffalo meat. Ten per­cent of raw HSS and / or HSS slurry resulted in a good qualaity ground beef. CGP and HSS-CGP slurries exhibited the optimum quality of ground beef at no more than 35.00 and 25.00% res. Mixing of CGP with HSS in uniform powder largely improved the ground beef characteristics.
