Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Pork Patties with Partial Replacement of Lean Pork by Stalks of Agaricus bisporus

Researchers developed healthier pork patties by replacing up to 50% of the meat with mushroom stalks (Agaricus bisporus). The resulting patties had less fat and more fiber while maintaining good taste and texture. However, very high replacement levels (more than 50%) reduced protein quality. This approach helps reduce food waste from mushroom processing while creating more nutritious meat products.
