Food products, such as precooked meats, sausages, and the like are microbially decontaminated in their cooking packages to remove surface microorganism contamination from the packages. The cooking packages are removed and the food products optionally subjected to further processing, such as slicing, and then packaged in aseptic packaging. The microbial decontamination step, further processing and packaging are carried out in a clean room which is maintained to a high level of sterilization or disinfection to minimize or eliminate contamination of the food products with pathogenic microorganisms such as Listeria Monocytogenes. The food products thus leave the packaging plant with a much higher assurance of food safety than is found in a conventional packaging plant.

The modified oilseed material typically includes at least 85 wt. % protein (dry solids basis), at least about 40% of the modified oilseed material has an apparent molecular weight of greater than 300 kDa, and/or a MW₅₀ of at least about 200 kDa.

The present invention is in the field of processing and treating meat. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of processing meat to enhance moisture retention both during storage and cooking by administering a composition containing sodium carbonate and other ingredients.

The present invention relates to a process for making a vegetable base meat analog, which may be used in a variety of vegetarian food products, such as burger patties and sausages. The process of the present invention involves sequentially blending methyl cellulose into a water/ice mix to form a cream, then blending in a modified gluten, a vegetable protein product having high solubility in water and capable of forming a gel with mild heat treatment, an oil to make an emulsion base, and a modified food starch and flavoring ingredients to form a flavored emulsion base. The flavored emulsion base may be stuffed into casings, and then cooked. The flavored emulsion base, once cooked, is a vegetable base meat analog and has a high resemblance to processed meat products having improved handling properties. The addition of the flavored emulsion base and the vegetable base meat analog in vegetarian food products improves the texture, mouthfeel, and juiciness of the resulting products.

A food processing technology, especially a method of preparing bittern for processing meat product. The spice contains aniseed, cassia, clove, liquorices and so on;. The method could greatly reduce the cost of bittern.

Apparatus and methods for slicing and seasoning meat, such as a ham. In one example, the apparatus includes a blade for slicing meat and a sprayer, such as a nozzle, for providing a stream of liquid seasoning in the direction of the blade during slicing, such that the liquid seasoning is distributed in between each slice substantially throughout the cut of meat. The sprayer may be coupled to a domestic water supply and/or at least one reservoir for holding a liquid seasoning. The apparatus may further include a spiral slicing configuration such that the meat is rotated while it is sliced and seasoned. Angling the blade with respect to the meat advantageously provides an opening in the meat so liquid seasoning may be distributed therein during the slicing process. In other examples, multiple sprayers and/or blades may be used.

The invention discloses a method for processing nutrition-rich polypeptide meat floss, which comprises following steps: processing the raw materials, cutting, stirring, emulsifying, heating, aging, hydrolyzing with enzyme to obtain polypeptide, preparing carrot paste, homogenizing and drying, flavoring, and packaging. The method combined with the prior bio-enzymolysis technology and conventional meat floss processing technology can process meat floss with rich nutrition, good absorption effect and unique flavor by adding vitamins such as carrot.

Disclosed is an oriented, heat shrinkable, thermoplastic vacuum bag having a protective heat shrinkable patch attached thereto such that said heat shrinkable patch covers substantially all area exposed to bone, thereby protecting the bag from puncture by sharp protruding bones in bone-in cuts of meat which are vacuum packaged within the bags. The protection is especially directed to prevention of bag puncture by, bone-in cuts of both fresh and smoked or processed meat.

The invention discloses a production method of black pepper chicken cutlets. The production method comprises the following steps: mixing minced drumstick meat with skins and minced chicken breast meat with skins in a weight ratio of 1 to 1, and mincing by using a 13mm mincing disc to obtain the minced chicken meat; putting the meat into a vacuum rolling machine, and adding a flavor immersing solution; rolling until a rolling solution is completely absorbed; putting the processed meat into a molding mold to form chicken cutlets; putting the molded chicken cutlets into a steaming pot and steaming for 3-6 minutes; then gradually coating the steamed chicken cutlets by powder one by one; then taking the chicken cutlets coated by the powder and gradually dipping paste on the chicken cutlets one by one; and frying the chicken cutlets with oil and quickly freezing until the central temperature of the product is lower than -18 DEG C. According to the production method, the minced chicken meat is prepared into the black pepper flavored chicken cutlets and the chicken cutlets have obvious chicken fibers and chicken quality; after being steamed, fiber textures still can be shrunk; the chicken cutlets molded by the minced meat have large area and are relatively thin, and have a relatively good taste when being eaten; and the minced chicken meat is rolled in a process of preparing the chicken cutlets so that the minced chicken meat is sufficiently tasty and the sufficient utilization of the chicken products is realized.
