Resumo
The hamburger is a widely consumed food, high in fat and calories. The objective 
of the study was the elaboration of beef hamburger added with corn flour as a 
way to add nutritional value to the product. The physical-chemical analyzes took 
place at the IFTO Food Laboratory and followed the methodology of the Adolfo 
Lutz Institute. Treatments were carried out with different concentrations of 0%, 
5% and 10% of corn cob flour incorporated in the preparation of hamburgers. The 
10% corn cob flour formulation presented an average of carbohydrates above the 
recommended in the referred legislation. The addition of corn cob flour in the 
proportions of 5% and 10% significantly interfered with the values of 
carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

Introdução
The hamburger is a widely consumed industrialized meat food that has a high 
content of saturated fat and caloric value (FERREIRA, 2019). Excessive 
consumption of these fats causes an increase in cholesterol and triglyceride 
levels, causing cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, cancers and other 
chronic diseases (HAUTRIVE et al., 2008; ORTIGOZA, 2008). The use of vegetable 
fibers such as oats, linseed, cassava, peas, sesame, wheat, starch, etc. are 
alternatives that are being researched to reduce the saturated fat content of 
animal origin in hamburgers (ROCHA, 2015). The use of fiber in the nutritional 
increase of the hamburger can collaborate to reduce the saturated fat content 
and caloric value, preserve the texture, improve the emulsion and water 
retention, benefiting yield and producing a reduction in the costs for the 
preparation of meat products. (FERREIRA, 2014). As one of the alternatives for 
obtaining the fibers appears the corn cob. Currently, corn on the cob is defined 
as waste being used mainly for animal feed on a small scale, providing the 
underutilization of this part of the food. The development of corn cob flour 
makes it possible to use a raw material rich in fibers, with a high content of 
minerals, and allows its use in meat products (FERREIRA, 2014). The inclusion of 
corn cob flour in hamburgers is a valid option, however, these flours must offer 
the consumer a product of good nutritional and sensory quality (FASOLIN et al., 
2007). In this way, the present study aimed at the elaboration of beef hamburger 
added to corn cob flour as a way to add nutritional value to the product.
Material e métodos
Raw materials: beef (85%), textured soy protein (4%), water (9%), sodium 
chloride (0.9%), white pepper (0.1%), garlic powder (0.1%), dehydrated onion 
(0.1%), dehydrated parsley (0.3%), sodium glutamate (0.4%) and sodium 
erythorbate (0.1%) which were acquired by purchasing, in the local commerce of 
the City of Paraíso do Tocantins - TO. After acquisition, the raw materials were 
transported in their original packaging to the Industrial Kitchen of the Federal 
Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tocantins IFTO - Paraíso do 
Tocantins campus, where 3 (three) treatments were performed with different 
concentrations of 0%, 5% and 10% corn cob flour incorporated in the preparation 
of hamburgers with varying meat content, keeping the other ingredients constant. 
For the development of beef hamburger formulations, the Technical Regulation on 
Hamburger Identity and Quality (BRASIL, 2000) and the procedures, with 
modifications, recommended by Terra (2005) were followed. The physicochemical 
analyzes of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins were carried out in triplicate at 
the IFTO Food laboratory and followed the methodological procedures of the 
Physicochemical Methods for Food Analysis of the Instituto Adolfo Lutz (IAL, 
2018). The results of the physicochemical analyzes were submitted to analysis of 
variance (ANOVA), and to verify if there was a significant difference in the 
data, the Tukey averages tests were applied at the level of 5% of significance 
in the variables in the SISVAR program version 5.6 (FERREIRA, 2019).
Resultado e discussão
The proximal composition of the hamburger treatments added with 0%, 5% and 10% 
corn cob meal is shown in Table 1
The formulations 0% and 5% of corn cob flour showed agreement with the Technical 
Regulation on Hamburger Identity and Quality (BRASIL, 2000). The formulation 10% 
of corn cob flour presented an average of carbohydrates above the recommended in 
the referred legislation. The addition of corn cob flour in the proportions of 
5% and 10% significantly interfered with the values of carbohydrates, lipids and 
protein. These results may be related to the low levels of protein and moisture 
in the corn cob meal and the reduction in the percentage of meat for the 
addition of corn cob meal in the formulation. Ferreira (2014) analyzing 
hamburgers with the addition of corn cob flour obtained values for protein with 
no difference between treatments. Santos Junior; Rizzatti and Brungera (2009), 
analyzing hamburgers, also found protein levels between 18.94% and 20.94%, with 
no difference between treatments. Traditional hamburgers had lipid content 
between 14.28% and 20% (MARQUES, 2007; TAVARES et al, 2017). Madruga et al 
(2007) obtained 14.28 and 19.64% of lipids for hamburgers made with sheep and 
goat meat, respectively. Marques (2007) performing analysis on samples of bovine 
hamburgers made with different percentages of oat flour found a great variation 
in the levels of carbohydrates, with the percentage of 2.82% of carbohydrate 
found in the formulation with 0% of oat flour and the percentage of 15.02% for 
the formulation containing 25% oat flour. Fernandes and Pizato (2019) added 
sorghum flour to beef burgers obtained better yield for cooking characteristics, 
showing higher yield and lower shrinkage.

Conclusões
The addition of flour significantly altered the physicochemical analyses. The 
results of the physicochemical analyzes of the hamburgers made with no addition 
and with 5% and 10% of corn cob flour indicated an increase in the carbohydrate 
content and a reduction in the lipid and protein content as a result of the 
increase in corn cob flour. Complementary studies are necessary for its use and 
further research is necessary to define the best way of application in meat 
products.
