Extension of shelf life and reduction of health risks for meat products by application of oscillating saturated steam

Objective

Some kind of meat and meat products bear special risks of microbial infection leading to a reduced shelf life or even to illness and death. Therefore the number of pathogenic or spoilage bacteria on meat has to be kept low. The treatment of meat surfaces with steam offers a good solution but leads to disadvantages like e.g. colour changes of the treated surface. A new technique using oscillating saturated steam is promising to further improve the decontamination effects and to overcome these disadvantages. The objectives of the project are a log 4 to log 6 reductions of pathogenic bacteria and an extension of shelf life by 30%. Within the project the impact of the new technique on pathogenic and spoilage germs on the most endangered kinds of meat and meat products will be investigated. The SME-partners, a meat-finishing company, a pork-debunking factory and an equipment manufacturer will then work together on the development of an experimental machine.
