Analysis of the quality and freshness of frozen semi-finished broiler chickens at the entrance control

Various factors can influence the quality and safety of slaughter products. In this connection, we carried out work on the analysis of the quality and freshness of frozen semi-finished broiler chickens - breast fillet, thigh, ham fillet - by random sampling, received at the enterprise of JSC Ufa Meat Canning Plant and selected for input control. Organoleptic studies have shown that all samples are fresh and benign. As a result of the study, the moisture released during defrosting varied between 1.10-1.88%, which does not exceed 4% and meets the requirements of regulatory documents. According to the results of the chemical composition data on the FoodScan analyzer, all samples of semi-finished meat from frozen broiler chickens met the requirements of the specification of Ufa Meat Canning Plant JSC. Bacteriological studies included the determination of CMAFAnM, BGCP, sulfite-reducing clostridia, S.aureus, pathogenic microorganisms, including salmonella, L.monocytogenes , mold and yeast, proteus . According to the results of microbiological analysis studies, samples of semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat meet the safety requirements of TR CU 021/2011 "On food safety". Thus, according to the assessment of freshness and safety indicators, frozen semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat were fresh and did not arouse suspicion in the issue of quality falsification, which allows us to say about the high potential of using these products as raw materials for the production of sausages.
