Abstract

The article aims to study the qualitative parameters of the restructured yak meat product. Yak meat was treated with a brine solution containing cherry plum juice, which is rich in organic acids. The raw meat material for the restructured product was ground on a spinner with a 16-25 mm diameter grate. Then salting was carried out during 6 hours at t =10-12ºC, brine pouring in the amount of 10 % to the mass of meat material. The raw meat material was sent for massaging in a stirrer for 60 minutes. Massaged raw meat was sent for maturation (τ =24-48 h at t =18ºC). During the maturation of yak meat, a certain degree of protein extraction occurred, as well as a muscle-relaxing effect caused by the presence of cherry plum juice and salt. Meat raw material, chopped and cooled at a temperature of 0 to +2 °C, was placed in a stirrer and stirred for 20-30 min with gradual introduction of hydrated lentil meal, spices, sodium nitrite, and water (ice) in an amount of 10% of the weight of the meat raw material. Then sausages were moulded into casings, and precipitation was carried out at τ =3 h and t =4-8ºC. The prepared sausage products were subjected to heat treatment. The chemical, mineral, amino acid, vitamin, and fatty acid compositions of the finished restructured products were studied. The use of cherry plum juice in massaging yak meat and lentil flour in the recipe of the experimental product also contributes to its enrichment with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Analysis of the amino acid composition of experimental and control products showed that in the experimental product, the amount of all essential amino acids significantly prevails in comparison with the control product. Thus, valine is more by 3289 mg, isoleucine by 1154 mg, leucine by 567 mg, lysine by 266 mg, methionine+cystine by 797 mg, threonine by 234 mg, tryptophan by 175 mg, phenylalanine+tyrosine by 1103 mg. Analysis of the mineral composition of the restructured products showed that the experimental product contains more minerals than the control product. The high iron content in the experimental product is due to the rich haemoglobin content in yak meat. The use of cherry plum juice in brine as an antioxidant during massaging contributes to the reduction of microbiological values.
