ObjectivesProcessed meats have high fat contents that have been linked to adverse effects on human health. The purpose of this study was to generate low-fat meat products using the combination of hot-boning (HB), crust-freeze-air-chilling (CFAC; HB-CFAC), and cold-batter mincing technologies.Materials and MethodsTwelve commercial pigs (4 pigs/replication) were obtained locally and processed in a traditional way. Skinless, boneless, fresh pork ham (IMPS#402G) was harvested and subjected to either hot-boning (HB) at 1-h poste-mortem or chill-boning (CB) at 24 h post-mortem. All pork ham muscles were cut into one-inch wide strips and subjected to crust-freeze-air-chilling (CFAC). The resulting strips were 3-min pre-chopped and 6-min post-chopped for full-fat batters (FF), using 65% ham muscle of CFAC, 15% pork back-fat, 16% ice, 2% salt, and 2% starch. For low-fat batters (LF), the strips were similarly chopped with the same ingredients except 0% pork back-fat and 31% ice. Data in three replications were evaluated by one-way ANOVA, using PASW 18 statistic program and a completely randomized design. A post-hoc analysis was performed using Duncan`s multiple range test to evaluate differences of fat content and protein functionality among treatments at P < 0.05.ResultsAfter chilling, the pH 6.27 of HB-loin muscles at an hour post-mortem was significantly higher than that pH 5.63 of CB-loin muscles at 24 h post-mortem (P < 0.05). Similarly, the pH 6.0 of cooked HB-gels was higher than the pH 5.7 of cooked CB-gels, regardless of fat content (P < 0.05). The 65% moisture and 11– 12% fat in full-fat gels (HB-FF and CB-FF) were lower and higher, respectively, than 76– 78% moisture and 1.6– 3.0% fat in low-fat gels (HB-LF and CB-LF), regardless of boning type. Cooking yield (%) was improved in HB-gels more than CB-gels. In responding to the cooking yield, the lowest and the highest expressible moistures were found in HB-FF gels and CB-LF gels, respectively. Both HB-FF and HB-LF gels showed higher values for hardness, cohesiveness, and gumminess than CB-FF gels, with the least value found in CB-LF gels. These results indicated that the cold-batter mincing of HB-muscles provided higher protein functionality and gel-forming ability than that of CB-muscles so that fat was reduced without textural quality loss (P < 0.05). The next step of this research is to generate fatty/creamy-like texture by chopping low-fat ham muscles at sub-zero temperatures for extended times, resulting in small and uniform protein particle sizes.

There is a growing demand for the development of healthier meat products with reduced fat and salts. The present study was carried out to develop low fat - low salt processed meat products in a type of fermented sausages. Products were formulated with different fat contents (10 g/100g - 20 g/100g) and levels of sodium chloride (0-2 g/100g) and potassium chloride (0-1 g/100g). Potassium chloride (KCl) was used as a substitute for sodium chloride (NaCl). Physicochemical characteristics and textural attributes were assessed instrumentally, while sensory attributes were determined using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis and Principal Component Analysis. The instrumental analysis showed significant (p <0.05) differences in hardness, brittleness, cohesiveness and chewiness among different sausage formulations. However, sensory analysis did not detect any textural changes due to salt substitution or fat reduction. The product with the highest fat content and KCl substitution was found to have the highest rating of perceived bitterness. The research findings identified the significant interaction between the addition of KCl and the fat content on bitterness perception.

Abstract Research has proved a relationship between high fat consumption and rise in obesity, atherosclerosis, coronary heart diseases and high blood pressure. Therefore is recommended the moderate consumption of fat, such that the total fat does not exceed 30% of total energy intake. Our body needs fats because are providers of calories, essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins and also they are necessary ingredients of the foods. The development of products with low-fat content can be considerate a challenge because the lipids offers aroma, texture, appearance, flavour and mouth feel, qualities that customers want in food products. A fat reduction can be achieved by using different fat replacers to ensure the functionality of the replaced fat. Functional components of fat replacers can have a significant role in promotion of wellbeing, in treating and preventing diseases. Thus, fat replacers should be recognized as safe and healthy, which have sensorial and functional properties. This paper reviews the fat replacers used to obtain foods as meat-based or dairy products. Some ways to obtain healthier meat products by reducing saturated fats content consist in the utilization of unsaturated vegetable oils, vegetable products, fibre. The utilization of fibre in products such bolognas, sausages or hamburgers, can improve the texture profile, binding properties and the characteristics regarding the cooking process. A fat reduction in dairy products can be achieved by replacing it with starches, polysaccharides, gums or fibres from cereal, vegetables and fruits. In acidified milk products, fibres have benefits as: low syneresis, sensory characteristics accepted by consumers, improvement of texture and rheological properties. In cheeses production, the fat reduction can be realised by replacing it with carbohydrate or protein-based replacers in order to obtain a final product with proper characteristics.

The nutritional value of meat is an increasingly important factor influencing consumer preferences for poultry, red meat and processed meat products. Intramuscular fat content and composition, in addition to high quality protein, trace minerals and vitamins are important determinants of nutritional value. Fat content of meat at retail has decreased substantially over the past 40 years through advances in animal genetics, nutrition and management and changes in processing techniques. Evidence of the association between diet and the incidence of human non-communicable diseases has driven an interest in developing production systems for lowering total SFA andtransfatty acid (TFA) content and enrichment ofn-3 PUFA concentrations in meat and meat products. Typically, poultry and pork has a lower fat content, containing higher PUFA and lower TFA concentrations than lamb or beef. Animal genetics, nutrition and maturity, coupled with their rumen microbiome, are the main factors influencing tissue lipid content and relative proportions of SFA, MUFA and PUFA. Altering the fatty acid (FA) profile of lamb and beef is determined to a large extent by extensive plant and microbial lipolysis and subsequent microbial biohydrogenation of dietary lipid in the rumen, and one of the major reasons explaining the differences in lipid composition of meat from monogastrics and ruminants. Nutritional strategies can be used to align the fat content and FA composition of poultry, pork, lamb and beef with Public Health Guidelines for lowering the social and economic burden of chronic disease.

Abstract Ten laboratories participated in a collaborative study to determine the total moisture and fat in raw and processed meat products by microwave drying and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Meat products were prepared following the AOAC Method and analyzed using CEM Corp.'s SMART Trac Moisture and Fat Analysis system. SMART Trac provides moisture results by measuring the weight loss on drying by microwave energy. The dried sample is then analyzed by NMR spectrometry for fat content. Moisture and fat results are displayed and reported by the SMART Trac as a percentage (g/100 g). Microwave drying is an AOAC-approved reference method (Method 985.14), Moisture in Meat and Poultry Products. NMR spectrometry is a secondary technique used to determine the concentration of various constituents in biological, organic, or chemical samples. The study design was based on Youden's matched pair principle for collaborative tests. For the purposes of this study, 10 laboratories each tested 10 Youden matched pairs, for a total of 20 samples. The study samples represented a range of products processed daily in plant operations. Included were raw meat samples (beef, pork, chicken, and turkey) as well as processed meats (beef hot dog, pork sausage, and ham). The total moisture content of the undiluted samples, as received for the purposes of this study, was determined by AOAC Method 950.46 and ranged from 54.03 to 74.99. The total fat content of the undiluted samples was determined by AOAC Method 960.39 and ranged from 1.00 to 29.79. Statistical analysis of study results for total moisture yielded a relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) range of 0.14 to 0.95 and a relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR) range of 0.26 to 0.95. Statistical analysis for total fat yielded similar RSDr and RSDR range of 0.74 to 4.08. Results for turkey had higher RSDr and RSDR values, both at 12.6, due to low fat content and possibly to the separation of the samples observed by some of the collaborators. Results demonstrate that microwave drying with NMR is a rapid, practical method providing results equivalent to AOAC Methods 950.46 (Forced Air Oven Drying) and 960.39 (Soxhlet Ether Extraction) in raw and processed meat products.

Purpose In response to increasing public health concerns about processed meat consumption, many innovations in meat technology focus on health-oriented product reformulations. Processed meat is not a homogeneous food category. The purpose of this paper is to explore consumer perception of the “healthier” reformulation of different processed meat products using two approaches: salt and fat reduction; and enrichment with healthy ingredients. Design/methodology/approach Seven focus group interviews were carried out with 40 Irish regular meat consumers (30 female, ten male) who were solely or jointly responsible for food shopping. Two rounds of card sorting procedures were employed to reveal perceptions on reformulation of 20 different processed meat products. Thematic analysis was used for analysing transcripts. Findings Health and flavour concerns and product popularity were the main factors influencing participants’ perceptions. Some participants were unsure or had misconceptions about the healthiness of certain meat products. Participants suggested reducing salt and fat content in processed meat products they perceived as the least healthy ones (theme 1) and improving the healthiness of products which were favoured by children (theme 2) and those meat products which people consumed regularly as a source of protein (theme 3). Participants were not in favour of any reformulation of speciality-type products (theme 4). Originality/value Consumer insights identified in this study can inform future approaches to making processed meats healthier.

Meatballs are processed meat products that very popular in Indonesia. Making meatballs is not just using animal material only, but also can be used plant materials such as oyster mushrooms. The meatballs can be made in various forms, such as a round shape or a box shape. This study aims to determine the nutrient content (moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) in several formula meatballs box of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and find the best formula on the meatballs box oyster mushrooms, the nutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates), as well as the ash and moisture content. The study was designed using completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of six treatments and two replications. Parameters measured were as hedonic organoleptic include color, aroma, flavor and texture, using 15 panelists and nutrient analysis includes the levels of fat, protein, carbohydrate, ash content and water content. The results showed that the formulation of meatballs box, panelists preferred the formula II from another formula with a value of 3.06 based on color, aroma, flavor, and texture. The results of nutritional analysis were fat content of 0.77, protein content of 16:28 value, carbohydrate content of 31.4, ash content of 1:46 and water content of 9.44.

Canned meat in pieces (CM) is a group of meat products widely consumed by children and consumers with special diet regimes, due to high protein and low fat content. In this study safety of these products regarding sodium chloride and nitrite contents was examined in total of 19 meat samples produced by 14 most represented meat processors on Serbian market. The statement about high protein and low fat content in CM for products from the Serbian market was confirmed. The products made from chicken meat ("Pileća prsa", protein 12.4 to 17.4 g/100 g; fat 0.92 to 3.84 g/100 g) had higher protein and lower fat content that the products made from pork ("Pizza šunka", protein 11.5 to 14.3 g/100 g; fat 4.61 to 14.4 g/100 g). In the group "Pileća prsa" 90.91% of samples had sodium chloride content below 1.5 g/100 g, while in the group "Pizza šunka", 75% of samples had sodium chloride content lower than 1.5 g/100g. Residual nitrite content in product "Pileća prsa" ranged from 0.62 to 20.7 mg/kg and in product "Pizza šunka" this content ranged from 3.27 to 19.2 mg/kg. These results indicate that all analysed samples were below the required limits of nitrite content. According to the results obtained in this study, children and consumers with special diet regimes are free to consume Serbian meat products in the type of CM considering the contents of protein and fat, as well as sodium chloride and nitrite residue.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of breed, chilling duration and processed product on the quality characteristics of mutton. A total of nine (9) mature rams of 12 months of age (25 Kg) managed on the same system were used. The animals were kept for 24 hours where only water was provided to clear the gut content before slaughter. The experiment was carried out in a factorial arrangement (3 x 3 x 3) of a completely randomized design consisting of three breeds of sheep (Balami, Uda and Yankasa), three chilling durations (0, 24 and 48 hours) and three processed products (Balangu, Tsire and Tukunya). The result revealed that there was no significant (P>0.05) effect of breed on proximate composition of fresh mutton. There was significant (P<0.05) effect of processed product on the proximate composition of mutton. Moisture content was higher in Balangu (54.93 %), followed by Tukunya (51.74 %) and lower in Tsire (41.00 %). Crude protein content was higher in Balangu (33.83 %), followed by Tukunya (29.63 %) which was at par wih Tsire (29.51 %). Ash content was higher in Tsire (6.61 %), followed by Balangu (5.71 %) and lower in Tukunya (3.69 %). Significant (P<0.05) chilling duration effect was obtained for bacteria count which was higher at 0 hours (2.25 x 103 cfu/g) chilling, followed by 24 hours (1.86 x 103 cfu/g) chilling. The same trend was observed for coliform count in which higher value was obtained at 0 hours (4.49 x 102 cfu/g) chilling, followed by 24 hours (3.04 x 102 cfu/g) chilling and 48 hours (2.93 x 102 cfu/g) chilling. Sensory properties of mutton from different breed differed significantly (P<0.05) among processed products. The overall accepatability indicates that Tsire (7.60) product was more acceptable, followed by Tukunya (7.20) product while Balangu (6.86) product was less acceptable. The microbial count obtained from the study was within the acceptable range (< 3.5 log HACCP 2002). It can be concluded that processed meat products (Tsire, Balangu and Tukunya) obtained from different breeds of Nigerian sheep (Balami, Uda and Yankasa) were not homogenous in their proximate composition. It is therefore recommended that fresh mutton should be chilled for 24 to 48 hours with little or no bacteria while fresh meat from the three breed of sheep (Balami, Uda and Yankasa) can be chilled for 24 to 48 hours with little or no bacteria and can be processed into different products (Tsire, Balangu and Tukunya).
