Pork trim from an advanced meat recovery system, referred to as pork trim‐finely textured (PTFT), was characterized and compared to 80% lean ground pork (GP) and knife trimmed lean (KT). PTFT (0, 5, 10, 15%) was incorporated into 10% and 20% fat ground pork patties. PTFT had higher total pigment, cholesterol, iron and calcium and lower collagen than GP or KT. Fat content of PTFT was similar to GP and KT. PTFT increased redness and juiciness and decreased hardness, chewiness and cohesiveness of ground pork patties. Addition of up to 15% PTFT caused differences which were perceived as improvements in quality. PTFT can be a replacement for pork trim in ground pork products.
