The present application belongs to the technical field of instant meat
product processing, and discloses an instant ham and a preparation method. The method comprises low-salt
pickling and semi-mature
fermentation, high-temperature three-gradient
fermentation after
slicing and addition of probiotics, and the combination of vacuum temperature-changing
fermentation ripening and bacteriostatic process, and processes the instant ham which is quickly fermented and matured, reduces the content of salt, inhibits the growth of rancidity and harmful
bacteria, and is convenient to eat after opening the bag. The present application first proposes that the meat product after rapid fermentation is vacuum packaged and then subjected to special vacuum high-temperature fermentation
ripening and bacteriostatic treatment at a high temperature of 49-52 DEG C. The process can not only significantly shorten the fermentation time to about 110-120 minutes, but also basically kill the non-sporulated vegetative
microorganism cells in the vacuum-packaged ham, while allowing the probiotics to be retained to a certain extent and avoiding the
pollution of microorganisms and other harmful substances thereafter. The "fast, low-salt,
flavor, instant" ham product prepared by the present application technology cannot be realized by the existing ham fermentation technology.
