Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological enzyme preparation and food safety, and relates to a nitrite reductase compound enzyme preparation applied to degrade nitrite in food and a method for degrading nitrite in sausage. Background technique
[0002] As a food additive allowed by the National Food Sanitation Law, nitrite is widely used in cooking sausage processing. It reacts with myoglobin to produce nitrosomyoglobin, which is pink in color, giving the cooked sausage an attractive color, that is, color development; at the same time, it can inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms, especially the inhibition of Clostridium botulinum Propagation, this bacterium can produce botulinum toxin, cause food poisoning, that is, antiseptic effect; it can also make cooked sausages elastic, taste good, eliminate the peculiar smell of raw meat, and improve product quality.
