Enrobing Technology : Potential Means To Value Addition In Cured Meat Products
نویسنده
چکیده
The economic analysis of value-addition to cured meat through enrobing technology was studied on three types of processing units. The data on input use and output yields were collected form NRCM and Comparative economics were worked out for cooked cuts alone and cooked cuts combined with enrobing. High capital investment (Rs.51.4lakhs) has been found in enrobed cuts than cooked cuts (Rs.41.42 lakhs) indicating capital intensive nature of enrobing technology. Cost of production per kg was found to be highest (Rs.411.04) for enrobed cuts compared to cooked cuts (Rs.346.44).Cost of enrobing and price premiums were worked out to beRs.64.63/kg and Rs 71.1/kg. Value-addition was highest on the large units indicating economies of scale. All the discounting measures showed highest feasibility for enrobed cuts with NPV of Rs.86.76 lakhs, IRR of 86%, BC ratio of 2.43.Payback period was estimated as 2.04 years with annual returns of Rs. 28.16 lakhs. The results showed economic potential and worthiness of combining curing and enrobing technology for the production of enrobed cuts.

Nitrosamines in bacon: a case study of balancing risks.
Nitrite has been used for centuries to preserve, color, and flavor meat. Today, about 10 billion pounds of cured meat products are produced annually, accounting for some one-tenth of the American food supply. Regulators became concerned about the safety of using nitrite in the early 1960s when studies showed the presence of carcinogenic nitrosamines in cured meat products. In the early 1970s, a...
متن کاملPotential of bacteriocins from lab to improve microbial quality of dry-cured and fermented meat products.
Meat and meat products are an important component of the daily diet. Nevertheless, they are perishable goods and are prone to microbial contamination, which leads to an increased risk to the health of consumers as well as economic losses in the meat industry. Fermentation has been used for thousands of years to preserve meat. As a result of extensive biochemical reactions occurring in meat duri...
متن کاملEffects of Gamma Irradiation on Residual Nitrite, Lipid Oxidation, Total Volatile Nitrogen and Color in Meat Products with Various Meat Contents
Background and Objectives: Gamma irradiation has been shown as an effective technology to decrease or eliminate microbial contamination in raw and cooked meat products. However, irradiation-induced physicochemical changes are important to accept the technology by meat industries and consumers. The objective of this study was to assess effects of gamma irradiation (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 kGy) on nitri...
متن کاملAlternatives for nitrate and nitrite in fermented meat products: potential contribution of the nitric oxide synthase activity of coagulase-negative staphylococci
Background Nitrosomyoglobin, which is the cured colour of fermented meat products, results from the interaction between muscle-based myoglobin and nitric oxide (NO) [1]. NO originates from the addition of nitrate and/or nitrite as curing agents to the meat batter. During fermentation, nitrate is reduced into NO-yielding nitrite by coagulasenegative staphylococci (CNS), present in the meat or ad...
متن کاملCured meat products without direct addition of nitrate or nitrite: what are the issues?
The growing popularity of food products marketed in the United States as "natural" and "organic" has resulted in a proliferation of marketing efforts to meet consumer demands for these foods. Because natural and organic foods are not permitted to use chemical preservatives, the traditional curing agents used for cured meats, nitrate and/or nitrite, cannot be added to natural and organic process...
