Abstract

In recent times, the consumption of meat products has been avoided by consumers, as it is associated with the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and obesity. As a consequence, recent strategies have been developed in order to enhance the nutritional composition of these types of products. In this study, 100 consumers evaluated from the sensory standpoint hamburgers produced with beef, vegetables and spices against a homemade formulation (composed of beef, salt and oregano), and a frozen commercial beef burger. 9-point hedonic scales were used, as well as a check-all-that-apply (CATA) composed of 32 terms; consumers were also asked to describe an “ideal hamburger”. Results show that there is a segment of the studied population that is interested in a hamburger formulated with the addition of vegetable ingredients, having assigned a high acceptance score to the developed formula, and describing it as tender, natural, delicious, nutritious, healthy and tasty, as well as close to their concept of an ideal hamburger.
