FOOD PRODUCT, CONTAINING ANIMAL PROTEIN, WITH HIGH MOISTURE RETENTION CAPACITY, INCLUDING MEAT, AND METHOD OF MAKING IT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A23L1/314 A23L1/315 A23L1/317 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves contact of a food product or ingredient of a food product, containing muscle tissue, with a silicate of an alkaline metal. The silicate has formula M₂O·m(SiO₂)·nH₂O, where M represents sodium of potassium, m is a number lying in the range 0.5≤m≤4, representing the number of mole(s) of the SiO₂ fragment for one mole of the M₂O fragment, and n represents water content, expressed in mass % of water, where 0≤n≤55%.

EFFECT: increased degree of moisture retention in the product.
