An increase in the acceptance, demand and production of game meat and venison has been experienced globally. Game meat and venison fit into consumers’ ideology of healthy and environmentally friendly meat when compared to domesticated animals. Opportunities exist to explore the use of these meat sources in developing new products, particularly as game meat and venison in their fresh state are sometimes perceived as being tough. Consumers have shown a trend for trying exciting new products with different organoleptic qualities, and fermented sausages occupy a special niche in the gastro‐economic trade. In this review, the production potential of game meat and venison and its prospective use in the development of fermented sausages are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the importance of meat characteristics in textural and sensorial development as well as the safety of fermented sausages. Additionally, consumers’ perception of venison and game meat is discussed. Possible areas of research and knowledge gaps are highlighted, particularly the potential use of meat with high pH and microbial load. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Cassava‐soy composite is extruded with grape pomace at 0, 10, and 20% addition levels. Some nutritional, functional, rheological properties, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of the extruded products are analyzed. Kinetics of starch digestibility show that extrusion cooking leads to a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the rate of starch digested but the addition of grape pomace lowers the rate of starch digestibility and estimated glycemic index. The water absorption capacity of composites decreases while the solubility index increases with increasing addition of grape pomace. FTIR spectra show an increase in β‐sheet formation as the addition of grape pomace increases. The composite with 20% grape pomace has the lowest viscosity and all composites exhibit a shear thinning behavior. Extrusion cooking probably leads to depolymerization of dietary fiber and redistribution of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber ratio. The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the cassava‐soy composite are significantly (p < 0.05) increased with the addition of grape pomace. The results indicate that grape pomace can be added to starch‐rich foods with extrusion cooking to produce instant products with potential health promoting properties.
