A study was conducted to evaluate the proximate composition, textural & colour profile and microbiological quality of duck meat patties incorporated with different levels of Black Gram Flour (BGF). Three formulations were prepared with the incorporation of BGF at different levels: 5% (T1), 10% (T2), and 15% (T3) and compared with the control (CT) sample prepared without BGF. On the day of preparation, duck meat patties were evaluated in terms of proximate composition, texture and colour profile. The microbiological qualities were evaluated on the basis of total viable count (TVC), total viable psychrophilic count (TVPC) and coliform counts at 5 days interval up to 15 days under refrigerated storage (6 ±1°C). The mean percent moisture, crude protein, ether extract revealed significantly (P < 0.01) decreasing trend but the percent total ash revealed a non-significant (P > 0.05) but slightly increasing trend. There were non-significant (P > 0.05) but slightly decreasing trend of calorie value with increasing levels of BGF in different patty formulations. The texture profile analysis (TPA) showed significant (P < 0.05) increase in hardness and non-significant (P > 0.05) increase of other texture qualities, whereas the fracturability and cohesiveness decreased non significantly (P > 0.05) with increased levels of BGF. Colour profile of the sample revealed non-significant (P > 0.05) increased values of lightness (L*), and decreased of redness (a) and yellowness (b) along with increased incorporation of BGF. Microbiologically duck patties with different formulations were found to be within the acceptable limit up to the 10th days of refrigerated storage. The study revealed that duck meat patties with different formulation were found to be within acceptable limit in terms of proximate composition and microbiological quality upto 10 days.
