Summary Four ‘clean label’ formulations for fish burgers made with mechanically separated fish meat were characterised in sensory, textural and chemical terms. The formulations differed in the ratios of European sea bass to rainbow trout (50:50 and 30:70) and the ratios of fish to potato flakes (dry matter ratio, DMR : 2.5:1 and 1.5:1). The sensory profile was mainly influenced by DMR . Recipes with the higher DMR were positively correlated with sandy, dry and crusty attributes, salty taste and overall flavour. Soft texture was perceived for recipes with the lower DMR , although no differences in texture were detected by a texturometer. Lowering DMR increased ash and water content and decreased protein content, as expected. The results indicated that 100 g of burger provided more essential fatty acids than the recommended daily intake, irrespective of formulation. In conclusion, multiple factor analysis indicated that the main changes detected and perceived were due to DMR .
