Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smoked meat product production, in particular to a smoked meat product production process and equipment. Background Art

[0002] The production of smoked meat products is a process of giving various meats (such as pork, beef, chicken, etc.) unique flavor, color and preservation properties through the processes of pickling, air-drying and smoking. Smoking not only enhances the flavor of the meat, but also prolongs the shelf life. The original purpose of its production was to preserve meat products for a long time. After slaughtering pigs in the twelfth lunar month, it is necessary to keep meat in the house within a year. It is a farm tradition passed down. Pigs are slaughtered in the twelfth lunar month every year. The fresh meat is cut and marinated for about ten days to make a brine, then dried in the sun for half a month, and then hung in the kitchen to be smoked by stove smoke. After more than a month, smoked meat products are made. They can be stored for a long time without spoiling, and have a delicious bacon flavor. When cooked and sliced, the lean meat is brown and red, and the fat meat is oily but not greasy. It is suitable for serving at table or with meals.

[0003] Smoked meat products have a unique flavor and are deeply loved by consumers, especially in the southwest of my country. Local people particularly like bacon and sausages made by smoking with firewood. However, due to the different parameters such as the environment, temperature and process time used by local people to make smoked meat products, the production time of the smoked meat products is relatively long and the taste and appearance are not the same.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example:

[0034] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention provides a process and equipment for making smoked meat products, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1. Raw material preparation: Select fresh and defect-free raw meat products and corresponding seasonings according to different raw materials, cut the selected meat products into uniform sizes as required, and then remove excess fat and fascia from the cut meat products;

[0036] Specifically, by cutting the selected meat products into uniform sizes as required, the meat products can be kept consistent in subsequent processing. By removing excess fat and fascia from the cut meat products, the flavor and taste after processing can be improved, thereby ensuring the quality of the finished product.

[0037] S2. Marinating ingredients: Mix the prepared seasonings accordingly as required, apply them evenly on the meat product from which excess fat and fascia have been removed, and then marinate for a certain period of time as required to allow the seasonings to penetrate into the meat product;

[0038] Specifically, the seasoning includes materials such as salt, pepper and white wine. The meat products from which excess fat and fascia have been removed are marinated, so that the seasoning can be fully absorbed by the raw meat products while retaining the flavor and nutrients of the raw meat products.

[0039] S3. Air-drying cured products: Place the cured meat products in a well-ventilated place and control the temperature and humidity to ensure that the meat products are evenly dried, reduce the moisture content, and prevent bacterial growth;

[0040] Specifically, by air-drying the marinated meat products, moisture in the meat products can be removed, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, thereby extending the shelf life of the product, reducing the risk of corruption and deterioration, and making the meat firmer, which helps to form an ideal taste and texture. Because the reduction in moisture makes the seasoning more concentrated, its flavor will gradually concentrate and enhance, which can make the surface of the meat products dry, and help the smoke to better adhere to and penetrate during the smoking process.

[0041] S4. Smoking: preheat the air-dried meat products, and then smoke them according to different needs. By controlling the temperature, humidity and time, the smoking degree of the meat products is ensured to be uniform;

[0042] Specifically, by preheating the air-dried meat products, the smoking can be made more uniform. By smoking the preheated meat products, the chemicals in the smoke (such as phenols, aldehydes and acids) penetrate into the meat products, giving them a unique smoky flavor. The natural preservatives in the smoke have antibacterial and antioxidant effects, which help inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold. The chemicals in the smoking process react with the proteins in the meat to form a unique color change. During the smoking process, the smoked layer formed on the surface helps to firm and dry the meat, changing its texture.

[0043] S5. Maturation and preservation: The smoked meat products are packaged accordingly, and then the packaged smoked meat products are stored and matured accordingly.

[0044] Specifically, by packaging the smoked meat products accordingly and maintaining suitable storage conditions, the shelf life of the meat products can be significantly extended, the risk of corruption and deterioration can be reduced, the flavor and texture of the meat products can be maintained, and changes during storage can be avoided to prevent the meat products from being contaminated by the outside. The taste of the meat products will be further integrated and enriched through aging, the smoke flavor and the taste of other seasoning ingredients will be more uniform, the texture will become more uniform and stable, the risk of drying and being too hard will be reduced, and the color of the meat products will be stabilized, making the appearance of the final product more consistent. The above steps can realize the production of standardized smoked meat products, and the processing process only consumes less manpower, thereby solving the problem that smoked meat products need to spend a lot of time and the taste and appearance of the finished products are not the same.

[0045] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 The marinating in step S2 is divided into dry marinating and wet marinating, which can be selected according to needs. Dry marinating is to mix the seasonings and evenly apply them on the surface of the meat product from which excess fat and fascia have been removed, and then marinate for a certain time as required to allow the seasoning to penetrate into the interior of the meat product. Wet marinating is to mix the seasonings with the corresponding solution in proportion, put the meat product from which excess fat and fascia have been removed into the solution, and soak it for a certain time as required to allow the seasoning to penetrate into the interior of the meat product. The marinating time depends on the size of the meat product and the desired flavor.

[0046] Specifically, dry curing is a curing method in which salt, spices and other seasonings are directly applied to the surface of the meat, usually without adding liquid. This method can quickly penetrate salt and seasonings into the surface of the meat, increase the flavor and cause the moisture in the meat to be gradually released, thereby improving the firmness and storage resistance of the meat. By removing moisture, dry curing helps prevent bacterial growth and extend the shelf life; wet curing is a curing method in which the meat is soaked in a liquid marinade containing seasonings, which allows the seasonings to penetrate more evenly into the interior of the meat and enhance the overall flavor. The liquid marinade can keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out. Wet curing helps the meat become more tender because the seasonings such as salt and sugar in the marinade can break down the protein in the meat and improve the texture. Dry curing is suitable for meat products that require a longer shelf life and strong surface flavor; wet curing is suitable for meat products that require deep seasoning and remain moist, and can be selected and processed according to needs.

[0047] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 The smoking in step S4 includes cold smoking and hot smoking, which can be selected according to needs. The smoke temperature of cold smoking is lower than 30°C, which is used to give meat products a rich flavor. The smoke temperature of hot smoking is higher than 60°C, which is used to heat the meat products during the smoking process to quickly complete smoking and aging. The smoking time and temperature depend on the required flavor, color, etc.

[0048] Specifically, by cold smoking meat products, a smoky flavor can be added without significantly changing the internal temperature and texture of the meat products. The smoking chemicals and low temperatures help inhibit bacterial growth, thereby extending the shelf life. Because the temperature is low during the smoking process, the meat will not become dry or hard, which is suitable for meat products that require a long period of aging. By hot smoking meat products, the meat products are heated while being smoked, and the flavor and texture will gradually form during the smoking process, making the meat more tender and with a distinct smoky flavor. The heating process can kill bacteria and parasites in the meat to ensure food safety. Hot-smoked meat products usually have a longer shelf life, but do not require a long period of aging like cold smoking, and can be processed according to demand.
