Resumo:
Concern of this century: Longevity with healthy eating
Considering the evident search for foods of fast and easy preparation, the industrial and scientific communities have been investing in the development of new products that, besides attending to this demand, can offer benefits to the health of the consumer. Among the foods that do not require a lot of time to prepare at home, the hamburger deserves prominence, due to its high consumption. However, because it contains saturated fat and because it is subjected to the frying process, too much consumption of this product can be harmful to human health and can cause chronic diseases, among them, obesity and hypertension. Studies have demonstrated the possibility of substitution of ingredients in the formulation of hamburgers, with the intention of incorporating substances with functional properties; therefore, substances that may contribute to the health and well-being of consumers. In this context, this review addresses issues related to meat, in the sense of conceptualizing the product and, in the light of the literature, offers possible alternatives and that have been studied to make this food healthier.
