The invention discloses
staphylococcus equorum with high
zinc protoporphyrin yield and application of a color former thereof in meat
product processing, and belongs to the technical field of meat
product processing and microorganisms. In order to solve the technical problems that
nitrate or
nitrite is used as a color former in the existing meat
product processing process, and both the
nitrate and the
nitrite are harmful to human bodies, the
staphylococcus equi SHBCC D1005 is found to have remarkable
zinc protoporphyrin production capacity through screening, and the
zinc protoporphyrin is biologically synthesized, so that the yield of the
staphylococcus equi SHBCC D1005 is increased, and the yield of the staphylococcus equi SHBCC D1005 is increased. An excellent color development effect can be achieved in meat product
processing; in addition, it is found that when the strain is prepared into a color former to be applied to meat product
processing,
nitrite can be effectively replaced, the
color quality of meat products is guaranteed, and meanwhile potential health hazards caused by nitrite are avoided. The color former provided by the invention is simple and convenient in preparation process, free of toxic risk and high in safety, provides a safe and efficient biological color development solution for meat product
processing, and has remarkable
food safety improvement value and industrial application prospect.
