The present invention provides a method of promoting a desirable color on the surface of a myoglobin-containing fresh meat product comprising the steps of:
supplying a container comprising a polymeric film having an oxygen barrier layer and a food contact layer;
providing a myoglobin-containing fresh meat product having a water content of at least 5 weight %; and
contacting the myoglobin-containing fresh meat product with a myoglobin blooming agent selected from nitric oxide donating compounds, nitrogen heterocycles or sulfur monoxide donating compounds, to produce a myoglobin-containing fresh meat product comprising less than 1 weight % sodium chloride, and
enclosing the myoglobin-containing fresh meat product within the container, preferably so that at least a portion of the food contact layer of the container is in contact with at least a portion of a surface of the myoglobin-containing fresh meat product.
本发明提供了一种促进含肌红蛋白鲜肉产品表面呈现理想颜色的方法,包括以下步骤:
提供一个容器,该容器由具有
氧气阻隔层和食品接触层的聚合物薄膜组成;
提供含肌红蛋白的鲜肉产品,其
水含量至少为 5 重量%;和
将含肌红蛋白的鲜肉产品与选自
一氧化氮供体化合物、氮杂环或
一氧化硫供体化合物的肌红蛋白膨胀剂接触,生产出含肌红蛋白的鲜肉产品,其
氯化钠含量小于 1 重量%,以及
将含肌红蛋白的鲜肉产品封闭在容器内,最好使容器的食品接触层的至少一部分与含肌红蛋白的鲜肉产品的至少一部分表面接触。
