Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of livestock and poultry processing technology, and specifically relates to a method for reducing the gamey smell of mutton. Background Technology

[0002] Since 2010, my country's sheep inventory, slaughter volume, and mutton production have all shown a fluctuating upward trend, while national mutton consumption has also shown a year-on-year increasing trend. By 2023, total mutton consumption reached 5.74 million tons, an increase of 2.3% compared to 2022. To adapt to the growing market demand, the national and local governments have successively introduced a series of industrial technology policies to support technological innovation in mutton processing. In September 2020, the state clearly proposed to improve the level of intensive processing of meat products and comprehensive utilization of by-products.

[0003] Currently, processed mutton products account for only about 5% of the total mutton market in my country, with a deep processing conversion rate of less than 3%. The main reason for this is the difficulty in controlling the gamey odor of mutton and its products, resulting in a poor sensory experience and becoming a technical challenge for the high-quality development of the mutton industry. The main components of the gamey odor in mutton and its products are volatile fatty acids, especially branched-chain short-chain fatty acids (such as 4-methyloctanoic acid and 4-ethyloctanoic acid). These substances accumulate in mutton and release characteristic unpleasant odors.

[0004] Several methods exist to address the aforementioned problems, such as microencapsulation and enzymatic treatment, but these all have their own limitations. Developing novel methods to reduce the gamey odor of mutton is of great practical necessity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for reducing the gamey smell of mutton, which can remove the gamey smell of mutton, and is simple to operate and easy to carry out industrially.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method to reduce the gamey smell of mutton involves treating the mutton with nano-level lipid-coated bubbles.

[0007] The nanoscale lipid-encapsulated bubbles are obtained by mixing nanobubbles with a lipid-containing liquid.

[0008] Furthermore, by filling the liquid containing lipids with nanobubbles from the bottom, water containing nano-sized lipid-coated bubbles is obtained.

[0009] The lipid-containing liquid has a lipid mass concentration of 0.5-2%, preferably 1%.

[0010] Furthermore, nanobubbles are spaced at 22-50m 3 The gas is introduced into a lipid-containing liquid at a rate of / h, and the time for introducing the gas is 4min.

[0011] The treatment is to inject the nanoscale lipid-coated bubble water obtained by mixing nanobubbles with a lipid-containing liquid into mutton.

[0012] The amount injected into the mutton is 20-40%, preferably 30-40% of the mass of the mutton.

[0013] The mutton after injection of nanoscale lipid-coated bubble water is subjected to sufficient tumbling.

[0014] Preferably, the tumbling time is 10-30 min, and the rotation speed is 5-25 r / min; further preferably, the tumbling time is 20 min, and the rotation speed is 12 r / min.

[0015] In the present application, the nanobubbles have certain stability and loading capacity, and can form stable nanoscale lipid-coated bubbles with lipid molecules. The nanobubbles mixed with lipids (such as phospholipids) to construct lipid-coated bubbles have strong permeability and hydroxyl groups (-OH) of lipids. When added to mutton, they can fully and quickly penetrate and bond with the fishy and muddy components in the mutton through ester bonds, thereby achieving shielding and removing the fishy and muddy smell of mutton.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: The present application provides a convenient and fast method for removing the fishy and muddy smell of mutton, which does not introduce other odors, does not require heating or other steps, does not damage the organization and nutrients of mutton, and can achieve good removal effect.
