New types of chopped semi-finished products development

Abstract

Nowadays there is a need to develop new recipes and technologies that allow the production of chopped semi-finished products with a relatively low cost, original taste and long shelf life. Various curing mixtures, marinades, acid-containing products, seasonings and spices are used to improve the organoleptic characteristics of chopped semi-finished products. They include beer, red wine, lemon juice, marinade (laurel leaves, salt, black peppers, onions, lemon juice or vinegar).Today marinades are a new and little studied raw material for the production of semi-finished products. They give the meat a delicate texture, a pleasant aroma and can eliminate or weaken the undesirable odor, which is achieved by various spices and seasonings adding. The problem of chopped semi-finished products assortment expanding was considered in this paper. The recipe for chopped semi-finished products “Nur” based on several types of marinades with the application of fresh pomegranate seeds was developed to obtain an “original” and unusual new-generation food product. Fresh pomegranate seeds, which give the cutlets an unusual sweet and sour taste, were used in the recipe for all types of cutlets. The composition of the seeds of this fruit includes 15 amino acids and a large amount of fatty acids. Pomegranate is rich in carbohydrates, important B vitamins and vitamin C, minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron). Four types of chopped "Nur" cutlets with pomegranate and Lingonberry, Basil, Picantillo marinades and without adding marinade were made for research. The developed assortment of chopped semi-finished products has high nutritional and biological value, good organoleptic characteristics with a pronounced taste. According to the organoleptic indicators, the best is the chopped Nur cutlet with pomegranate and the addition of Picantillo marinade. Analyzing the data of studies on storage capacity, it should be noted that, subject to the established regime, changes in organoleptic indicators during storage are insignificant. When developing chopped "Nur" cutlets with pomegranate, the Lingonberry, Basil, Picantillo marinades, produced under the Cetrina trademark, cope successfully with the task of flavoring improving.
