Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of meat product preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a casual grilled sausage. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the need for meat preservation, the main process of sausage making involves processing animal meat and other raw materials into minced or ground meat, and then stuffing them into animal or artificial casings. Sausage processing and consumption have a long history in all parts of the world. Due to cultural differences and different eras, the production methods for different types of sausages have evolved, including emulsification, smoking, scooping, pounding, pickling, and air-drying.

[0003] In recent years, Taiwanese-style grilled sausages have become extremely popular among consumers due to their plump texture, juicy flavor, balanced sweet and salty taste, and ease of preparation. The production process of Taiwanese-style grilled sausages includes mincing the meat, mixing the seasonings, beating, and stuffing. Because the salt-soluble proteins in the raw meat are soluble in salt solutions, industrial processing often involves beating or tumbling at low temperatures to promote the dissolution of these proteins from the clustered, multi-tiered muscle fibers and the reformation of a cross-linked network, resulting in the sausage's stringy texture. For example, Chinese patent CN103783556A discloses a method for making spicy grilled sausage. This patent uses a two-stage tumbling process to promote the dissolution of proteins in pork and chicken, so that the sausage has a stringy texture. However, the two tumbling processes take a long time, totaling 4 to 7 hours, and the resulting spicy grilled sausage does not have a stringy texture. Chinese patent CN105581346A discloses a grain-based soy protein grilled sausage, which uses plant proteins such as starch, soy protein isolate, and recombinant soy protein to replace animal proteins to give the sausage a stringy texture. Although the chopping time of this patent is short (2 to 4 hours), the resulting grain-based soy protein grilled sausage has an indistinct stringy texture, insufficient meat juice, a noticeable beany taste, and a complex composition. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a casual grilled sausage. The casual grilled sausage prepared by the method of this invention has good stringy texture, is juicy, and the process is simple.

[0016] Preferably, the high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment includes: immersing lean animal meat in a conductive solution for electroporation treatment; the conductive solution is an aqueous solution of food-grade metal salt additives, the conductivity of the conductive solution is 600–1800 μS / cm, the temperature of the conductive solution is 0–4℃, and the mass ratio of the conductive solution to the lean animal meat is 1:1; the electroporation treatment is carried out under a high-voltage pulsed electric field; the voltage of the high-voltage pulsed electric field is 20–30 kV, the field strength is 1.5–3 kV / cm, the frequency is 1 kHz, the pulse duration is 40 μs, and the number of pulses is 100–500 pulses; the container for the electroporation treatment is a treatment chamber with an electrode plate distance of 10 cm.

[0026] Beneficial effects:

[0027] This invention uses a high-voltage pulsed electric field to treat lean meat, which promotes the dissolution of salt-soluble proteins in the lean meat and enhances the hydration of salt-soluble proteins during the cooking process. This helps the minced meat form a three-dimensional gel-like texture, resulting in a crisp, tender, and juicy texture for the casual grilled sausage.

[0028] The raw materials for preparation of this invention include lean animal meat, animal fat, sucrose, salt, liquor, compound phosphates, and crushed ice. It avoids using plant tissue water-retaining agents (such as starch, modified starch, and soy protein isolate) and hydrophilic colloidal stabilizers and water-retaining agents (such as locust bean gum, guar gum, agar, and xanthan gum). By using low-viscosity compound phosphates, it achieves the transformation from the texture of fresh lean animal meat to the soft, elastic texture and juicy water-retaining properties of sausages. Furthermore, the fewer types of raw materials and cleaner ingredients of this invention make it more appealing to consumers. In addition, the preparation method of this invention does not use color-developing agents or colorants, thus obtaining a casual sausage with a reddish color and pure meaty texture.

[0029] Furthermore, after the lean meat is treated with a high-voltage pulse electric field, it is then stirred and kneaded for 20 to 30 minutes to develop its elasticity, which greatly reduces the tumbling time of the lean meat (from 5 to 6 hours to 20 to 30 minutes), thus greatly reducing the production costs for enterprises.

[0131] Table 1 shows that the hardness, elasticity, and chewiness of the casual grilled sausages obtained in the examples were not significantly different from those obtained in the comparative examples. A possible reason is that the high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment promoted the dissolution of salt-soluble proteins in the lean meat, reduced the time required during tumbling, and promoted the hydration of salt-soluble proteins during steaming, forming a three-dimensional gel network.

[0132] Figures 1-6 The photos show the grilled sausages obtained in the examples and comparative examples, from... Figures 1-6 It can be seen that, similar to Comparative Examples 1-3 and 1-2, after two extrusion texture tests, the sausages exhibited good elasticity, good muscle protein stringiness, and good juiciness. Figure 3Compared to Comparative Example 2, which included texture modifiers such as modified cassava starch and recombinant soybean protein, there was no significant difference in texture and mouthfeel. As the intensity of the electric field treatment (voltage, field strength, number of pulses, etc.) increased during the high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment, the chewiness of Examples 1-3 increased, becoming closer to that of Comparative Example 2, which included texture modifiers. This indicates that the pulsed electric field treatment promoted the dissolution of salt-soluble proteins and the reorganization of the protein gel network.

[0133] Examples 1-3 exhibit the natural red color of processed meat products. Figure 3 Compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which contained colorants such as nitrite and red yeast rice, there was no significant difference in color.

[0134] like Figure 6 Compared with Examples 1-3, Comparative Example 3, if only brine soaking is used without applying an electric field treatment, the final product has low texture hardness and poor chewiness, and the sensory properties show that the meat is loose, lacks meat color, and is white.

[0135] The casual grilled sausage of the present invention does not use plant tissue water-retaining agents such as starch / modified starch and soy protein isolate, or hydrophilic colloidal stabilizers and water-retaining agents such as locust bean gum, guar gum, agar, and xanthan gum. Instead, it uses low-viscosity compound phosphate to achieve the transformation from the texture of fresh animal lean meat to the crisp and elastic texture and juicy water-retaining properties of grilled sausage.

[0136] In the preparation of casual grilled sausages, a high-voltage pulsed electric field is used to treat lean animal meat, which greatly reduces the tumbling time of pork (from 5-6 hours to 20-30 minutes), significantly reducing production costs for enterprises and optimizing the essential pre-treatment process of meat products. This technology can also be applied to the processing of other meat products such as roasted chicken, roasted duck, braised meat, and sausages in the future.

[0137] The present invention provides a casual grilled sausage that can achieve a reddish color and pure taste without the use of additives such as coloring agents and colorants.

[0138] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
