Abstract
A flavor enhanced dehydrated meat is prepared by first heating a mixture of a reducing sugar and a sulfur-containing substance to partly react the sugar and sulfur-containing substance, and then the partly reacted mixture is added to a cooked meat which then is heated to react the sugar and sulfur-containing substance further and to dry the meat containing the reacted mixture. The reducing sugar and substance may be added to and reacted in a concentrated juice obtained from cooking meat.
Claims24
A process for preparing a dehydrated meat product comprising heating a mixture of a reducing sugar and a sulfur-containing substance for a time so that only a part of the reducing sugar and sulfur-containing substance of the mixture is reacted, thereby forming a partly reacted reaction mixture, adding the partly reacted reaction mixture to cooked meat from which cooking juice and fat have been separated and then heating the cooked meat and added partly reacted reaction mixture to further react the reducing sugar and sulfur-containing substance of the partly reacted reaction mixture and to dry the cooked meat containing the further reacted mixture to obtain a dehydrated flavored meat.
A process for preparing a dehydrated meat product comprising cooking meat and then separating juice and fat from the cooked meat, concentrating the juice separated from the cooked meat, mixing a reducing sugar and a sulfur-containing substance with the concentrated juice to form a juice mixture, heating the juice mixture for a time so that only a part of the concentrated juice, reducing sugar and sulfur-containing substance of the juice mixture is reacted, thereby forming a partly reacted reaction mixture, adding the partly reacted reaction mixture to the cooked meat, heating the cooked meat and added partly reacted reaction mixture to further react the reducing sugar, sulfur-containing substance and juice of the partly reacted reaction mixture and to dry the cooked meat containing the further reacted mixture to obtain a dehydrated flavored meat.
