Abstract
Methods for coagulating collagen and producing a food product by contacting the collagen with a solution comprising at least about 40% by weight of a phosphate salt mixture wherein the phosphate salt mixture is comprised of at least two phosphate salts selected from the group consisting of monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, and tripotassium phosphate.
Claims27
A method of coagulating collagen comprising contacting the collagen with a brine solution that comprises a solvent and at least about 40% by weight of a phosphate salt mixture, wherein the phosphate salt mixture comprises at least two phosphate salts selected from the group consisting of monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, and tripotassium phosphate.
A method of preparing a food product comprising:
- a. combining the food product with collagen;
- and
- b. contacting the combination of the food product and the collagen with a brine solution that comprises a solvent and at least about 40% by weight of a phosphate salt mixture, wherein the phosphate salt mixture comprises at least two phosphate salts selected from the group consisting of monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, and tripotassium phosphate.
