Additionally, differences observed across treatments. values ranged between 586.4-1775.5 ABTS µM eq. Trolox/g sausage 550.7-1764.0 sausage, indicating improvement EF concentration increased. Treatments containing 2% (T2) 3% (T3) achieved acceptability rating close 4 ("I like it slightly"), demonstrating a balance acceptability, although higher adversely affected flavor texture perception. Eggplant effective choice enhancing meat products' quality life, contributing development options.
