Abstract
Preservation of meat and meat products comprises storing the meat or meat products in an atmosphere comprising argon and one or both of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The meat is preferably stored in a gas impermeable container into which the gas mixture has been introduced prior to sealing.
Description
DESCRIPTION
PRESERVATION OF MEAT PROCESSED AND COOKED MEATS AND
MEAT PRODUCTS
The present invention relates to the preservation of meat, processed and cooked meats and meat products, for example uncooked beef, lamb, pork, chicken and turkey, cooked ham, cooked turkey, cooked beef, cooked pork, bacon and sausages, to name but a few.
It is known to prolong the shelf life of such products by gas-packaging them in a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The nitrogen content varies from 50 to 75% and the carbon dioxide from 50 to 25% and a typical mixture comprises 65 nitrogen and 35% carbon dioxide. Another known gas mixture for use with fresh meat comprises 60% to 70% oxygen and the balance carbon dioxide.
Such gas mixtures are effective in reducing the severity of the oxidising atmosphere and therefore increase the shelf life of the product. However, one disadvantage with such known gas mixtures is that the carbon dioxide content discolours many meats. Thus, whilst the use of such gas mixtures increases the time for which a product may be safely kept the product itself may not be particularly visually appealing to potential customers.
It is thus an object of the present invention to allow such products to be stored and/or displayed without discolouring and without unacceptable deterioration of taste and smell, and thereby to extend the useful shelf life of the product.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention a method of preserving meat, processed and cooked meats and meat products comprises storing the products in a gas mixture comprising argon and one or both of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Such a mixture does not discolour the meat products and yet maintains the product quality (taste, smell, texture etc) for a considerably longer period, thereby increasing the useful shelf life. The optional use of oxygen in the mixture enhances the colour of certain meat products, particularly red meat products, yet the presence of argon (and optionally carbon dioxide) greatly reduces the oxidising properties of the gas mixture as a whole.
The method of the present invention also results in lower residual oxygen levels as compared with the prior art, whilst still maintaining an attractive visual appearance on the products, whilst using a similar amount of gas to the prior art techniques.
Preferably, argon forms the largest proportion of the mixture. It has been found that a minimum of 45% of argon is desirable.
For example, the gas mixture may comprise 55, 60%, 75%, 80% or 90% argon, the remaining portion of the mixture being formed by carbon dioxide and/or oxygen in varying proportions.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for packaging meat, processed and cooked meats and meat products, comprising packaging the food in a substantially gasimpermeable packaging, introducing into the container a gas mixture comprising argon and one or both of carbon dioxide and oxygen and sealing the container to retain the gas mixture within the container.
By way of example only, specific examples of the present invention will now be described.
Meat or meat products are prepared in the conventional manner suitable for packaging on standard equipment currently used for packaging meat and meat products with an atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. For example, for cooked meats the raw meat may be trimmed, seasoned, cooked and sliced. For preserved (as opposed to cooked) products, such as bacon, the cooking step may be replaced with a different step such as a preservation step.
During packing of the meat into separate packages (and, optionally, additionally during storage of the products prior to packaging) the product is stored in an atmosphere comprising a mixture of argon and one or both of carbon dioxide and oxygen. For example, the mixture may comprise 45%, 55, 60%, 75, 80% or 90% of argon by volume. The remaining 55%, 45%, 40%, 25%, 20% or 10% respectively of the mixture can have varying proportions of carbon dioxide and oxygen, ranging from 0W to 100% by volume. Typically for cooked and/or processed meats with an approximately 70% argon content carbon dioxide and oxygen may be present in as approximately 30% carbon dioxide and less than 1% oxygen by volume. Another gas mixture which has been found to be particularly effective for cooked and/or processed meats comprises 75% argon and 25% carbon dioxide by volume.
It has been found that packaging meat products with such gas mixtures increases the quality (in particular the appearance) of the product and improves the taste and smell. Indeed, for some meat products (particularly containing red meat) the presence of oxygen enhances the colour of the product whilst the overall oxygen-deficient atmosphere retards the oxidation of the products. Thus, the products can be stored for a longer period in a condition which is not only safe but which is appealing to the consumer.
As for the known mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the products are packaged in substantially impermeable packaging material, whereby the composition of the storage atmosphere remains substantially constant in use.
In a second example, particularly suitable for uncooked meat, and in particular uncooked pork, the meat is packed in substantially gas impermeable packaging in an atmosphere comprising 60% argon, 30% carbon dioxide and 10W oxygen. It is thought that the inclusion of a small proportion of oxygen contributes significantly to the maintenance of the quality of the product (and in particular the appearance, taste and smell of the product) whilst the presence of argon and carbon dioxide suppresses the oxidising characteristics of the oxygen.
Other examples of gas mixtures for use with raw meat (e.g. pork escalopes or mince and beef) include:
70% argon 20% oxygen 10% carbon dioxide
60% argon 30% oxygen 10% carbon dioxide 55k argon 25% oxygen 20% carbon dioxide
45 argon 45% oxygen 10% carbon dioxide
The present invention is applicable to a wide range of meat and meat products such as uncooked beef, lamb, pork, chicken and turkey, cooked ham, cooked turkey, cooked pork, cooked beef, smoked ham, honey roast ham, processed meats such as bacon and sausages and products containing such items. The invention is also applicable to whole or sliced portions of such products.
All of the above examples may, if desired, be used in conjunction with techniques of so-called "cryogrinding", i.e. grinding or mincing the products in a liquefied gas environment. For example meat (such as beef, pork and lamb) may be ground in a 100% liquid carbon dioxide or 100% liquid argon environment in a conventional cryogrinder prior to being packaged as described above.
Whether or not the present invention is used in conjunction with cryogrinding techniques, tests on products packaged in accordance with the present invention reveal significant reductions in microbial activity and consistently high scores in taste and appearance tests. It has also been found that the present invention results in significantly lower levels of residual oxygen, whilst permitting sufficient levels of oxygen to enhance the visual appearance of the food.
All of these benefits can be achieved by using approximately the same volumes of gas (or even less) as are used in the prior art techniques.
The invention is not restricted to the details of the foregoing examples.
