We assessed the texture profile (TPA), Aw and PH of hot-dog elaborated on the basis of llama meat; We worked with 16 formulations that included different levels of inclusion of egg albumin (AH), Tara Gum (GT) and functional soy Concentrate (CSF). By TPA, cohesiveness, mastication, hardness, gumminess and elasticity were assessed. To evaluate the individual and synergistic effect of the components, the mixture design method was used. It was found that the addition of CSF influenced significantly in hardness (R2 = 0.92) and chewability (r2 = 0.94), while cohesiveness was positively influenced by the greater proportion of GT and AH (r2 = 0.97). On the other hand, the elasticity showed greater magnitude when the proportion of CSF and AH (R2 = 0.90) increased in the mixture. The microbiological barriers of ph and AW were also evaluated, it was observed that the Aw was reduced mainly by CSF an...
