dc.abstract.enThis study was conducted on vegetable soup with rabbit meat and vegetable soup with rabbit meat, beef balls, and carrots. The qualitative characteristics of the soups were adapted to the needs of elderly consumers. The soups used in the experiments were industrially produced. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in the mechanical, sensory, and microbiological properties of the soups occurring during their storage (1, 7, 14, and 21 days). Strength tests were performed at temperatures of 20 °C and 55 °C. Both soups had a high protein content (4.7–6.5%), low sugar (0.3–0.5%) and salt content (0.8%), and a fibre content of 1.4%. The texture analysis showed great similarity in the mechanical characteristics of both soups. The samples were characterised by low measured values for firmness (0.72 N) and cohesiveness (−0.14 N) in both temperatures. The average shear force of the beef balls with carrots at 20 °C was 12.3 N, but after heating, it decreased to 8.8 N (p < 0.05). The rheological tests on the soups showed that they were characterised by a relatively high viscosity (15–20 Pas at 55 °C). Storage of the soups for 21 days did not significantly affect their rheological parameters (p > 0.05). The soup with beef balls and carrots was rated higher by the sensory panel. On the 21st day of storage, the permitted limit of the count of bacteria was not exceeded in either of the samples. This study shows that the soups had desirable structural, nutritional, and sensory characteristics, which are important for this group of consumers. The values of the mechanical parameters of all the samples were low, and they were even significantly more reduced when the products were heated. This may suggest that the products should not be difficult to consume for seniors.
