The effect of potato starch modified by pre-gelatinization on frankfurter sausage exudation level was investigated. This liquid exuded from the food product may have a negative impact in sensorial properties of packaged food as well as in its microbial quality for consumers acceptance. Modified potato starch caused a decrease in exudation formation vacuum-sealed packages of frankfurter sausages stored at +4 0C. The juice exuded into the package of the control group was higher than the other groups (P<0.05). Also, some quality characteristics of frankfurter sausages (color, pH, water activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), conjugated diene and free fatty acid (FFA) were analyzed during the storage period. Potato starch exhibited a high reducing hydrolysis activity in this study. As a result; it is advisable to use modified potato starch instead of normal potato starch to reduce or delay the exudation level in sausages.
