The optimum level of tapioca starch was determined by assessing the physico-chemical (emulsion pH, product pH, emulsion stability, cooking yield and shear force value) and sensory characteristics. A highly significant (p<0.01) increase in emulsion and product pH was observed with increase in level of inclusion. Similarly, 10% tapioca starch recorded better emulsion stability and cooking yield compared to other levels.
