Multi-component brine for creating functional meat products

The article presents the results of studies on the use of an additive with a physiologically functional ingredient as part of a multicomponent brine. The protein-carbohydrate additive Mol Pro 700 and sodium citrate were used as technological functional additives. It has been established that the rational dosage of sodium citrate application is 0,3 %. In addition, the accepted dose of citrate did not cause a change in the color of the product on the cut and ensured its stability throughout the entire shelf life. And a 14% reduction in the dose of table salt provided good structural and mechanical characteristics and stable microbiological safety, which is also due to the bacteriostatic properties of sodium citrate. It has been established that the use of sodium citrate in the composition of the injected brine also makes it possible to reduce the content of sodium nitrite by 20 %.
