Application of express methods for detection of slaughter animals’ meat adulteration by treatment with alkaline detergents and disinfectants

Abstract

The article presents the application of the developed patented express methods, which have reliability in tests of 99.9%, and can be used to control dangerous chemical factors to detect adulteration of meat of slaughter animals with sodium bicarbonate solution and alkaline detergents and disinfectants at production facilities and both meat and meat products. According to these express methods, the number of samples for processing the meat of slaughter animals with a solution of sodium bicarbonate using an alcoholic solution of chrome dark blue (0.5%): beef (n = 2), pork (n = 2) due to the application of meat ≤ 5.0% and beef (n = 4), pork (n = 4) — ≥ 5.1%; for treatment with alkaline detergents when using an alcoholic solution of bromothymol blue (0.04%): beef (n = 3) due to the application on the surface of meat ≤ 5.0% and pork (n = 4) and goat (n = 4) — ≥ 5.1%; for treatment with alkaline disinfectants when using an alcoholic solution of rosolic acid (0.25%): goat (n = 4) due to the application on the surface of meat ≤ 5.0% and beef (n = 5) and pork (n = 4) — ≥ 5.1%; for treatment with alkaline disinfectants when using an alcoholic solution of chrome dark blue (0.3%): beef (n = 5) and pork (n = 4); for treatment with alkaline detergents when using an alcoholic solution of bromocresol green (0.01%): pork (n = 5), beef (n = 4) and lamb (n = 3)
