| Summary, etc. |
This study utilized okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) mucilage, specifically from 'rejected'<br/>pods, as a key biopolymer for developing edible sausage casings. The aim is to provide<br/>the food industry, particularly sausage manufacturers, with a sustainable, cost-saving, and<br/>environmentally friendly alternative. It also offers new market opportunities for okra<br/>farmers and caters to health-conscious consumers. The process involved several steps<br/>including washing, soaking, dehydrating, grinding, sieving, rehydrating, filtering,<br/>dispersing, casting, drying, forming, and packaging. FTIR analysis confirms the presence<br/>of polysaccharides, affirming its film-forming properties, with okra powder having<br/>9.593% moisture content. The edible film or casing derived had 48.25% moisture<br/>content, 0.577% water activity, and pH of 5.72. Color parameters were L* 52.00, a* 3.36,<br/>and b* 22.90. Microbial analysis had safe levels, coliforms <10 CFU/g, total plate count<br/><250 CFU/g, E. coli <1.8 MPN/g, and yeasts and molds <100 CFU/g. Shelf-life test with<br/>accelerated analysis for 11 days (equivalent to approximately one month real-time) at<br/>ambient, refrigerated (4°C), and high-temperature (40°C) storage conditions indicated<br/>consistent appearance, texture, and microbiological safety, with APC and YMC well<br/>below standard limits. The film had medium absorbency (478.67%), adequate thickness<br/>(0.22 ± 0.01mm), tensile strength of 0.41 MPa, and elongation at break of 91.61%,<br/>indicating flexibility. Thermal testing revealed good performance under dry heat. Sensory<br/>testing with 70 potential consumers revealed high acceptability across 3 cooking methods<br/>(frying, baking, and grilling). Overall, the okra-based casing represents a viable,<br/>plant-based alternative to traditional sausage casings, combining safety, functionality, and<br/>sustainability. |
