Developing a Pate with Branch Chain Amino Acids and Identifying It Using a QR Code

Abstract

The growing planet population requires manufacturing more products to replete nutritional deficiency, including those enriched with amino acids to maintain the balance of nutrients in the human body. Pate is an option of an alternative energy-dense meat product, ready-to-eat from a container by plastering on a bakery product as is or using as a side dish for the main course. A pate enriched with BCAAs, microbial proteinase, and goose liver conferring flavor and stabilizing the product has been developed. A solution has been proposed for ensuring food safety through identifying goods using a QR code, in which data on the type of feed, breeding meat cattle on farms, transportation, meat processing plant, meat product processing, and storage until the sale at a retail outlet to the end consumer are encrypted in a table format. The proposed measures contribute to the trust relations between the seller and the consumer and convenient delivery of information to the executive authorities, which will allow obtaining complete information on the goods purchased through the retail network with the supply chain.
