Three different batches were elaborated: (i) control (CON) with 100% of pork backfat, (ii) FO25 with 75% of pork backfat and 25% of FO, and (iii) FO50 with 50% of pork backfat. The rheological properties were modified showing fewer stable structures, and lower firmness and viscous characteristics on samples with FO. The fat replacement was accompanied by an increase (P < 0.01) in moisture, ash, and cholesterol (FO > CON), and a decrease (P < 0.001) in fat (FO50 < FO25 < CON) contents. The fatty acid profile of pâtés with FO changed, decreasing (P < 0.001) the total amount of saturated fatty acids (FO50 < CON, FO25) and monounsaturated fatty acids (FO50 < FO25 < CON) and increasing (P < 0.001) polyunsaturated fatty acids (FO50 > FO25 > CON). In relation to the physicochemical traits, the incorporation of FO caused a significant (P < 0.001) change on redness (FO25 > FO50 > CON) and yellowness (FO25 < CON, FO50). In addition, concerning textural parameters, lower (P < 0.001) hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were observed in reformulated pâtés. Descriptive analysis showed significant (P < 0.05) difference only for fish flavour attribute, meanwhile the consumers score for overall liking and preference did not display significant (P ≥ 0.05) differences among pâtés.
