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.

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.

Table salt is the first food additive and its preserving eff ects are well known since long time ago. Because of its role in everyday diet, table salt is one of the fi rst products designated as “functional food”. However, it was established that excessive salt intake, i.e. sodium intake, is frequently associated with hypertension and development of a range of other diseases. Sodium chloride affects sensory and microbiological properties of meat products; however, it aff ects the human health as well. Since the current Regulation (Offi cial Gazette of the Republic of Serbia No. 31/2012) did not define the sodium chloride content of in meat products as a quality parameter, the aim of our study was to determine levels of sodium chloride in diverse meat products available at the market in Novi Sad. A total of 260 samples of meat products were examined, including: shaped ground (minced) meat, vegetarian spreads, smoked products, fermented dry sausages, fi nely minced boiled sausages, canned meat chop and cooked sausages. The content of sodium chloride was determined by using volumetric method. The lowest average sodium chloride content was established in samples of shaped ground meat, being 2.53%. Average level of sodium chloride in vegetarian spreads was 3.55%, in cooked sausages 2.95% and in canned meat chop and smoked products 3.44%. Sodium chloride content in boiled sausages was 3.06%, whereas highest value was established in fermented dry sausages, being 3.71%. According to the guidelines of the World Health Organization, daily salt intake for healthy adults should not exceed 5-6 g. Since the obtained results indicated that sodium chloride contents in some samples were close to the upper recommended limits, continuous and systematic monitoring is of paramount importance in a view of obtaining accurate and reliable information on the content of sodium chloride in relevant meat products.

Sucrose overfeeding increases intrahepatocellular (IHCL) and intramyocellular (IMCL) lipid concentrations in healthy subjects. We hypothesized that these effects would be modulated by diet protein/fat content. Twelve healthy men and women were studied on two occasions in a randomized, cross-over trial. On each occasion, they received a 3-day 12% protein weight maintenance diet (WM) followed by a 6-day hypercaloric high sucrose diet (150% energy requirements). On one occasion the hypercaloric diet contained 5% protein and 25% fat (low protein-high fat, LP-HF), on the other occasion it contained 20% protein and 10% fat (high protein-low fat, HP-LF). IHCL and IMCL concentrations (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) were measured after WM, and again after HP-LF/LP-HF. IHCL increased from 25.0 ± 3.6 after WM to 147.1 ± 26.9 mmol/kg wet weight (ww) after LP-HF and from 30.3 ± 7.7 to 57.8 ± 14.8 after HP-LF (two-way ANOVA with interaction: p < 0.001 overfeeding x protein/fat content). IMCL increased from 7.1 ± 0.6 to 8.8 ± 0.7 mmol/kg ww after LP-HF and from 6.2 ± 0.6 to 6.9 ± 0.6 after HP-LF, (p < 0.002). These results indicate that liver and muscle fat deposition is enhanced when sucrose overfeeding is associated with a low protein, high fat diet compared to a high protein, low fat diet.

Abstract The commercially available Foss-let fat analyzer was evaluated for the determination of fat in meat and meat products by comparison with AOAC method 24.005(a). With the Foss-let procedure, mechanical and instrumental equipment is used to determine fat in 7–10 min. A sample is extracted with tetrachloroethylene in a mechanical orbital shaker for 2 min and the specific gravity of the extract is measured in a magnetic float cell controlled by a digital potentiometer. During extraction, anhydrous calcium sulfate absorbs moisture droplets originating from the sample. The variations of comparative determinations on 67 meat samples containing 1.1–95.4% fat and 17 frankfurter samples containing 17.3–37.3% fat were analyzed statistically by grouping the data according to meat type (beef or pork) or frankfurters and into 6 ranges of fat content, and by treating the entire set of data. Error analysis of the differences and standard deviation of each grouping of paired determinations by the Fosslet and AOAC methods indicated that meat type and fat content &gt;7.5% were not significant (P = 0.05) sources of variation as determined by t-tests on the statistics from the blocks of data. Determinations on samples containing ≤7.5% fat were consistently low and an additive correction of 0.25% was indicated. From the overall results, the accuracy and precision of the method were characterized as follows: the mean Foss-let method determination was high by 0.08% fat relative to that by the AOAC method; repeatability of ± 0.31% fat between duplicate determinations compared favorably with ±0.38% obtained with the AOAC method; and precision between paired determinations by the 2 methods was ±0.44%. Both a t-test for significance (P = 0.05) and the linear regression of the 84 comparative determinations indicated that the Foss-let method was equivalent to the AOAC method for determining fat.

Consumers often mix pasteurised meat products from the subgroup of smoked meat with a subgroup of meat products known as canned meat. The aim of this study was therefore to determine their physicochemical parameters and sensory properties of smoked meat and canned meat subgroups of pasteurised meat products on the Slovenian market. Chemical analyses of the content of ash, sodium chloride and phosphates, thiobarbituric acid number (TBA), instrumental measurements of the proximate composition (NIR), colour (CIE L*, a*, b*) and texture (Texture Profile Analysis) as well as the evaluation of sensory properties (Descriptive Analysis Method) were performed on 33 products. The products of smoked meat had a higher content of protein, ash, total phosphates and sodium chloride than the products of canned meat. All products were oxidatively stable (low TBA number). The products of smoked meat were darker (lower L* values) and redder in cross-section (higher a* values), they were tougher, gummier, more difficult to chew, more cohesive and less elastic in texture (Texture Profile Analysis) than the products of canned meat. The panel of experts evaluated the products of both subgroups with a similar average overall impression. Compared to the products of the canned meat, the products of the smoked meat showed worse slice colour uniformity, they contained a higher level of gelatinised connective tissue on the slice, had a worse slice connectivity, the texture of a slice was firmer with coarser fibres, they were saltier, with a less pronounced metallic and rancid aroma and a more pronounced bitter, acidic and odd aroma. Chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, hardness and elasticity (texture parameters) loaded strongly on the quality parameters of all products (Factor analysis). Furthermore, linear discriminant analysis confirmed that the products of the subgroups smoked meat and canned meat differ in their physico-chemical and sensory profile.

In recent years, consumer concerns regarding high levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) intake have increased, given the associated risk of cardiovascular disease. This has led food industries to consider lowering the use of sodium in food products. However, it is well known that the addition of NaCl to meat products enhances their quality, including water-holding capacity, emulsification capacity, juiciness, and texture. Thus, it is difficult to completely remove salt from meat products; however, it is possible to reduce the salt content using salt substitutes, flavor enhancers, textural enhancers, or other processing technologies. Several recent studies have also suggested that processing technologies, including hot-boning, high pressure, radiation, and pulsed electric fields, can be used to manufacture meat products with reduced salt content. In conclusion, as the complete removal of NaCl from food products is not possible, combined technologies can be used to reduce the NaCl content of meat products, and the appropriate technology should be chosen and studied according to its effects on the quality of the specific meat product.

In this work, a film-forming coating for natural semi-finished pork meat has been developed, which has barrier properties against microbial flora and free oxygen radicals. Polysaccharides such as agar, gelatin, cornstarch, and citrus pectin were used as components of a film-forming coating, as well as CO2-extracts of parsley and ginger. It has been found that the most effective is a coating with the following composition: agar – 0.25%, citrus pectin – 0.5%, citric acid – 0.5%, CO2-extract of parsley or CO2-extract of ginger – 0.1%. This coating prolongs the shelf life of natural semi-finished pork meat at a storage temperature (–1…+1)°С for 2 days compared with the traditional technology.Studying the effect of the film-forming coating developed on the organoleptic properties of meat has shown that on the 7th day of storage at a temperature (–1…+1)°С, there were no signs of spoilage like putrid smell, greenish stain, and sliminess that were observed in the samples without coating. The study of the effect of the coating on the microbiological parameters of the meat has shown that the best microbiologcal stability that does not exceed the allowable values after 7 days of storage at a storage temperature  (–1…+1)°C is that of the sample covered with the film-forming coating with a CO2-extract of parsley. The study of the effect of the film-forming coating on the physical and chemical properties of meat has shown that peroxide number of its fat content is lower by 0.007% of iodine, and the acid number of its fat content is 0.39 mg KOH/kg of fat lower compared to the values of these parameters in the meat samples without coating. Besides, during storage, the mass loss in the meat samples covered with the coating developed was about 6 % less, thus reducing drying loss.
