Abstract
In this study, inulin and oligofructose were used as prebiotic ingre- dients in meatball production, and chemical, textural and sensorial at- tributes of prebiotic meatballs were investigated. Adding inulin or oli- gofructose at the levels of 2.5% and 5.0%, respectively, to meatballs did not affect (P > 0.05) the chemical and textural attributes of meat- ball samples. The sample containing 2.5% oligofructose was given the highest sensory panel results. Adding inulin or oligofructose to the formulation did not adversely affect the sensory attributes of the samples.
