METHOD FOR STORAGE OF ANIMAL MEAT IN COOLED STATE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: meat processing industry, in particular, storage of raw meat material.

SUBSTANCE: method involves processing of cooled meat in storage chamber with the use of antiseptic dispersed in circulating cooled wet air, said antiseptic being used in the form of aerosol with droplets size ranging between 5 and 50 micron; providing single or multiple processing with antiseptic; carrying out first processing with antiseptic after termination of microorganism multiplication lag-phase and subsequent processing operations with 5-10 day periodicity. Antiseptic is acid anolyte with pH value of 1.5-2.5 and oxidation-reduction potential of 1,100-1,200 mV or neutral anolyte with pH value of 6.5-7.5 and oxidation-reduction potential of 900-1,100 mB at air flow velocity of 1-5 ml/m³.

EFFECT: increased shelf life of cooled meat, reduced loss of meat on drying and reduced storage expenses.
