Batches of smoked sausage were made with 0 and 10% emulsion, ground to two particle sizes (6.5 and 13.0 mm) and mixed with 0, 10 and 20% added water in a factorial arrangement of treatments. The cooked sausages were held under refrigeration for five days, then heated and served to a trained sausage panel. The addition of emulsions to coarse ground sausage eliminated the significant effect of grind size on total shrinkage. Tenderness and juiciness scores and overall yields increased as the amount of added water increased to 10%; however, there were no further increases in these factors as the amount of added water was increased to 20%.
