Seventeen beef and pork blends were evaluated for palatability characteristics, color, appearance acceptability and cooking losses. Cooking losses were not significantly different among blends. Both raw patty color and appearance acceptability were significantly affected by fat and lean source. Increasing pork content changed raw patty color from dark red to pale grayish‐pink and decreased appearance acceptability. Patties having high pork content appeared fatter although fat content of blends was not different. Increasing pork fat content improved patty tenderness. Juiciness, flavor, and overall acceptability were no significantly affected by lean or fat source. Results indicate beef/pork blends with 50% or more beef equal all‐beef patties in palatability traits and cooking losses.
