Definitions

  • the present invention relates to protein fortification of cured meats.
  • hams are injected with aqueous solutions of table salt and sodium polyphosphate, which not only cause an improved color but also a better juice retention.
  • table salt and sodium polyphosphate which not only cause an improved color but also a better juice retention.
  • the objects of this invention are fulfilled by controlled preparation of a curing medium containing proteinaceous material, oleaginous material, and conventional curing ingredients.
  • the medium is stitch pumped into the muscle tissue of the meat, taking care to avoid injection solely into veins and arteries.
  • the product of the present invention is a uniquely prepared high protein curing medium which is particularly advantageous in extra-pumping meats.
  • the curing medium is composed of, in addition to conventional curing ingredients, proteinaceous material and, if desired, oleaginous materials.
  • the proteinaceous material of the curing medium is a food grade isolate, substantially devoid of the fibrous and carbohydrate materials naturally occurring in concert with the protein.
  • the isolate is derived from either vegetable or animal sources provided it possesses physical and chemical characteristics amendable to the formation of an emulsion with hydrogenated vegetable oil, particularly that of salt tolerance; i.e., is stable in the presence of salt. Additionally, the isolate must form an irreversible gel upon heat setting. Gelatin, although a protein, is not within contemplation of this invention because it does not form an irreversible gel. Also, the protein isolate must be capable of providing the nutritional value of natural meat protein-gelatin also lacks this capability. Soy protein isolate is preferred for purposes of the present invention. It is important to note that other nutritious proteinaceous materials derived from both animal and vegetable sources can be utilized in the present invention provided they are modified to form stable dispersions or emulsions compatible with curing solids.
  • the amount of protein incorporated into the curing medium will be sufficient to provide a meat, pumped to in excess of 140% of its original or green weight, with the same nourishing proteinaceous posture as that of an unpumped meat. This amount must be in excess of 6% by weight of the curing medium. However, the amount cannot be so great as to render the curing medium too viscous to be pumped through injection needles. The precise amount will vary depending on the desired texture, flavor, taste, appearance, and type of meat product.
  • protein isolate is utilized in an amount of from about 7-10% by weight of the curing medium.
  • the final meat product will have an overall protein content of from about 17 to about 20% by weight of the meat for proper proteinaceous posture.
  • oleaginous materials such as hydrogenated vegetable oil, rendered animal fat such as beef tallow and lard, and adipose tissue can also be incorporated into the curing medium.
  • the medium will be in the form of an emulsion rather than a watery dispersion.
  • This form is quite advantageous for several reasons. For example, since the level of solubility of protein in water is at most a colloidal dispersion, the emulsion will provide improved stability over the dispersion. Additionally, the emulsion serves to improve the cohesion of meat chunks when cured meats are rendered and subsequently recompacted.
  • the oleaginous material of the present invention can be selected from any of the many vegetable oils commercially available. Alternatively, other oils, rendered animal fats such as beef tallow and lard, and adipose tissue can be employed.
  • the oils of this invention may be, for example, soy oil, corn oil, peanut oil, etc.
  • the amount of oil can be 0 to 15% depending on whether a thick emulsion or dispersed solution is desired. It is preferred to utilize an emulsion having about 9% oil by weight of the curing medium.
  • the other curing ingredients are, for example, inorganic phosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, trisodium pyrophosphate, and monosodium orthophosphate; salts such as sodium chloride and sodium erythobate; inorganic nitrogen sources such as sodium nitrate and nitrite; sugar such as that commonly used in meat curing; and, of course, water.
  • inorganic phosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, trisodium pyrophosphate, and monosodium orthophosphate
  • salts such as sodium chloride and sodium erythobate
  • inorganic nitrogen sources such as sodium nitrate and nitrite
  • sugar such as that commonly used in meat curing
  • water water
  • a typical formulation by weight based on overall weight of the curing medium for the present invention will contain 75 to 90% water, 4.0 to 10.0% NaCl, 0.1 to 2.0% sugar, 0.05 to 0.2% sodium nitrite, 0.005 to 0.01% sodium nitrate, and 0.05 to 0.2% sodium erythobate.
  • the protein isolate must be hydrated, in intimate contact with the water, prior to the addition of the curing salts.
  • the phosphate and other salts must be added to the hydrated protein in dry form. If the hydrated protein is added to a solution of the phosphate, the protein will curd like cottage cheese. These curds significantly reduce the injection capability of the curing medium and will cause precipitation or unwarranted degradation of protein during the curing cycle. Additionally, previous problems in regard to moisture retention are significant results. It is believed that previous failures in extra pumping hams with protein isolates may have resulted from failure to observe this critical order of addition.
  • the curing medium is particularly desirable for pumping cured meats such as pork or red meat, poultry, fish, beef brisket, beef rounds and preferably hams to from about 140 to about 165% of their green weights. Even meats such as whale and mutton are within contemplation of this invention. Also the meats need not be fresh, they can also be washed meats.
  • the curing medium is stitch pumped directly into the muscle tissue of the meat. More specifically, meats for canned hams are excised from the bone prior to injection and if desired are recompacted and then injected. It is important to note that meats can be pumped to as low as 110% of green weight and distinctions over the prior art can still be observed. Although the distinctions are not nearly as drastic as at the 140% pumps, they are nonetheless characteristically different from other pumping procedures.
  • the product of this invention is a novel meat product which is uniformly distributed with an added protein gel.
  • the meat-like gel is irreversibly heat set such that greater than 50% of the meat product consists of non-meat material yet the nutritional and textural properties of the meat are maintained.
  • the elimination of protein separation is believed due to the fact that by changing the order of addition, the protein is more completely hydrated such that upon curing, the curing medium is converted to a gel, wherein the protein retains its hydrated form, thus remaining intact.
  • the hams weighing approximately 18 lbs. were skinned, defatted and deboned by seaming the muscles.
  • the meat was divided into three categories:
  • the curing medium was prepared by first dispersing 2.336 lbs. of .[.hydrolyzed.]. soy protein isolate into 28.05 lbs. of water. Then the following amounts of solids were added:
  • the ham leans were stitch pumped with this dispersion.
  • the weight was pumped to 38.5 lbs. or 147% of the green weight with no undesirable separation of protein.
  • the ham was allowed to cure for 48 hours, then the leans were placed in a vacuum tumbler and 28 inches of vacuum was applied. They were tumbled for 6 hours, removed and pumped with an identical curing medium.
  • the weight was increased to 42.6875 lbs. or a yield of 163% of green weight, with still no separation of protein.
  • Example 2 Same as Example 1 except 9% of the curing medium (water portion) is replaced by hydrogenated vegetable oil. An emulsion is formed and injected. There are excellent results.
  • Example 2 Same as Example 1 except part of the water is held out to dissolve the phosphate prior to admixing it with the protein. Curds form in the curing medium. Injection results in undesirable separation of protein and off-taste.
  • Example 2 Same formula as Example 1 except that the ham was pumped to 147% of green weight, placed in a meat massager for 18 hours and then heat processed for cure.
