Abstract
The present invention relates to electrochemically reduced nitrites from plant sources, such as vegetable extracts, where the plant-based extract contains nitrite in an amount sufficient to cure meat equally as effective to synthetic compounds when the dosage of nitrite was the same.
Claims17
A composition for curing meat that contains a natural nitrite in an amount sufficient to cure meat, wherein the nitrite is electrochemically-reduced from a plant source.
A method of curing meat comprising the step of applying an effective amount of a naturally-derived nitrite composition to the meat, wherein the nitrite composition is electrochemically-reduced from a vegetable source.
A system for curing meat comprising using a plant-based nitrite composition, wherein the plant-based nitrite composition is prepared from a vegetable extract that has been electrochemically-reduced, and wherein the plant-based nitrite contains nitrite in an amount sufficient to cure meat equally as effective to synthetic compounds when the dosage of nitrite was the same.
