Abstract The effect of adding Zhaguangjiao, a Chinese traditional fermented food made from hot pepper and corn flour, to meatballs on its quality attributes such as color, texture, water holding capacity and taste was investigated. The results showed that Zhaguangjiao significantly decreased the brightness, but increased the redness and yellowness. Meanwhile, hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly increased compared with the control with the addition of Zhaguangjiao at up to 40% (P < 0.05). Zhaguangjiao increased bound water and as a result significantly decreased cooking loss and syneresis during freeze-thaw treatment (P < 0.05). Addition of up to 40% Zhaguangjiao was clearly discriminated from the control by taste quality. Cluster analysis showed that the quality of meatballs with 30% Zhaguangjiao was similar to that of the control. Thus, Zhaguangjiao has the potential for application in meatballs.
