1Means ± 2standard deviation. Means in a row without a common superscript letter differ statistically (). WBC: water binding capacity; WHC: water holding capacity; CL: cooking loss. Designation of samples: S-C: the minced samples produced from beef trimming; S-C+TG: the minced samples produced from beef trimming, with added TG; S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4: the combined minced samples produced according formulations 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively; S-1+TG, S-2+TG, S-3+TG, and S-4+TG: the combined minced samples produced according formulations 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, with added TG.
