The addition of green, yellow, red pomace and tomatoes, at different levels (10 and 20%) improves the cooking characteristics and water holding capacity (WHC) of the beef burger. The organoleptic properties of dibs from three stage of colored peppers and tomato fruit showed that they were highly accepted by the panelists.
