Both water holding capacity and cooking yield of samples significantly (p<0.05) increased with addition of citrus fiber. There is no significant (p <i>> </i>0.05) difference found between the control CF 0% and the CF 1% for hardness and springiness values.  Hunter color <i>L </i>, <i>a </i>, <i>b </i> values were significantly (p<0.05) impacted by the addition of citrus fiber. Results of the consumer panel showed that CF 1% got the highest flavor score with 6.61 followed by CF 0% with 6.52 (p>0.05). CF 5% had the lowest texture scores with 5.46. Over all likeness was highest for control with 6.69 followed by CF 1% with 6.56, CF 3% with 5.9, and CF 5% with 5.47. In conclusion, citrus fiber can be used in comminuted meat products at 1% level. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Özkan ÖZDEN}
