21 different sausage meats were chemically analyzed to determine the amounts of total collagen, insoluble collagen, and percentage soluble collagen present in each meat. A simple cookout test was also conducted to determine its usefulness in evaluating the bind characteristics of raw sausage materials. Values for total collagen, insoluble collagen, and percentage soluble collagen were quite variable among the meats sampled. Of the three collagen profile components studied, only percentage soluble collagen was observed to, be highly related to the binding characteristics of meat. Values for milliliters of fat and water lost during cooking were not significantly related to bind values. This study indicates a need for additional research to investigate the role of collagen profile components in the I formation of sausage batters.
