Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food technology, specifically relating to a meat product marinade, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cured meat products involve the addition of large amounts of phosphates, salt, nitrates, and nitrites during the curing process. This creates an extremely high osmotic pressure on the surface of the cured meat products, which is crucial for the curing process. On the one hand, the osmotic pressure difference between the surface and interior of the cured meat products promotes the penetration of sodium chloride into the meat, where it reacts with proteins and fats, enhancing the meat's cohesiveness, improving its texture, and giving the meat products a unique flavor. On the other hand, the high osmotic pressure difference causes the cell membranes of microorganisms on the surface of the meat products to rupture, thereby inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms and extending the shelf life of the food.
[0003] However, existing research has shown that while phosphates, nitrates, and salt improve the quality of meat products, they also pose numerous health risks. Although nitrates offer multiple benefits to meat products, such as color preservation, antioxidation, and antibacterial properties, excessive use can lead to the formation of harmful substances like nitrosodimethylamine and nitrosopyrrolidines during heating. Phosphates effectively enhance the water retention of meat products, but excessive or prolonged consumption can cause illness. Sodium ions in table salt (sodium chloride) are closely related to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension; excessive sodium intake increases the risk of these diseases. Therefore, for the sake of people's health, meat curing solutions should not contain large amounts of phosphates, nitrates, and table salt. Developing a natural meat curing solution with low salt content is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a meat product marinade, its preparation method, and its application.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A meat product marinade comprises the following ingredients in parts by weight: 6-8 parts salt, 2-3 parts rock sugar, 3-5 parts soy sauce, 12-18 parts savory flavoring, 10-15 parts natural antioxidant, 5-6 parts calcium ascorbate, 2-4 parts natural preservative, and 80-95 parts solvent water.
[0006] Preferably, the savory flavoring is obtained by freeze-drying a mixture of hemoglobin solution, histidine, tyrosine, and chitosan oligosaccharide.
[0007] Preferably, the natural antioxidant is a mixture of catechins, rosemary extract, and phytic acid.
[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of catechin, rosemary extract and phytic acid is (2-4):(6-8):(1-2).
[0009] Preferably, the natural preservative is either nisin or natamycin.
[0010] Preferably, a method for preparing the above-mentioned meat product marinade includes the following steps: Step S1: Fresh livestock and poultry blood is anticoagulated, centrifuged, diluted, and filtered to obtain hemoglobin solution. The hemoglobin solution is mixed with histidine-tyrosine mixture and chitosan oligosaccharide solution at a volume ratio of 2-8:1:2. The pH value is adjusted to 5.0-7.0, and the mixture is reacted at 50-60℃ for 40-60 minutes. After centrifugation and freeze-drying, a glossy reddish-brown powder with a salty flavor is obtained. Step S2: Stir and mix the salt, rock sugar and solvent water evenly to obtain mixture 1; Step S3: Add the salty flavoring natural antioxidant, calcium ascorbate, natural preservative and soy sauce obtained in step S1 to the mixture liquid 1 obtained in step S2 in sequence, stir and mix evenly to obtain mixture liquid 2, then place the mixture liquid 2 in a sterilization container for pasteurization and cooling, and then seal and store it at a temperature of 0-4℃ to obtain meat product marinade.
[0011] Preferably, in step S1, a sodium citrate-sodium isoascorbate solution with a mass fraction of 1-6% is used in the anticoagulation process of fresh livestock and poultry blood.
[0012] Preferably, the stirring speed in steps S2 and S3 is 80-100 r / min, and the stirring time is 20-30 min.
[0013] Preferably, the pasteurization method in step S3 is to heat the mixed liquid 2 to 60-70°C and maintain it for 30-45 minutes.
[0014] Preferably, the application of the meat product marinade as described in any one of claims 1-5 in the processing of marinated pork, pressed duck, and chicken products.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the positive and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) The raw materials of the meat product marinade of the present invention are mostly derived from natural plants and animals. The salty flavoring, natural antioxidants (a mixture of catechin, rosemary extract and phytic acid), natural preservatives (either nisin or natamycin), calcium isoascorbate, salt, rock sugar and soy sauce are compounded together to play a synergistic role. Compared with traditional meat product marinade, it can inhibit lipid oxidation and stabilize the color and taste of meat products. Moreover, it can completely replace phosphates and nitrates, avoiding the food safety hazards caused by phosphates and nitrates in meat product processing, and meeting the requirements of green manufacturing technology for meat products.
[0016] (2) The meat curing liquid provided by the present invention adopts pasteurization process, which effectively kills pathogenic microorganisms and effectively reduces the damage to the water retention performance of proteins in the curing liquid. It can also be compounded with any spices. It has the characteristics of wide application range, good curing effect, stable performance and low production cost. It avoids the health hazards caused by curing agents such as phosphates and nitrates and has good prospects for promotion and application. Detailed Implementation
