1) Control, meat emulsion formulated with 20% back fat without sugarcane bagasse fiber.
a-d Means within a row with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
CSF, crude sugarcane bagasse fiber; ASF, alkaline-treated sugarcane bagasse fiber; SEM, standard error of mean; NS, non-significance (p>0.05).
