Germinated cereal crops are widely used in the technology of meat products, as they contain a significant amount of vitamins, minerals and protein. This study presents the formulation and processing technology of meat pate with the addition of wheat (Triticum aestivum) germ. Three treatments of 10, 15 and 20% of germinated wheat (GW) were prepared. Wheat sprouts were crushed and mixed for 6 minutes in a meat mixer together with broth, oat flour, and spices to obtain a smooth mass. This was mixed with minced meat and grinded on a cutter to obtain a more uniform finished paste that was dosed into lamister or tin containers, sterilized and stored for 2 years. This was followed by the determination of its proximate composition, water-binding capacity, and sensory analysis. Results show that the meat pate with 10% of GW in comparison with the control, contain more protein, is more nutritious with a lower fat content of 6.8% and a lower carbohydrate content of 11.3%. The results of organoleptic evaluation showed that the highest average score was for the meat pate with a recipe that contains 10% of germinated wheat, and the lowest was for the meat pate containing 20% of germinated wheat. Meat pate containing 10% of germinated wheat has a higher water-holding capacity and the optimal pH value. This study suggests that wheat can be used in appropriate formulation to improve the organoleptic quality of meat pate.

Modern tendencies in food industry development (including meat products processing) are connected with compulsory advance and improvement in production techniques as well as implementation of effective management systems which stem from the integrated approach to risk management. The development and implementation of the systems which would guarantee required and stable safety of products for consumers are very important as well as their quality. For that reason it is essential to develop the models of integrated management system which will be based on the quality management system (QMS) and food safety management system standards. The authors performed comparative analysis of the requirements of the integrated standards. As a result of the analysis and expert evaluation they determined ten areas of integration, developed the matrix of requirements for the elements of the integrated system. The authors studied the risks, gave scientific evidence concerning the occurrence of potential hazards, determined unacceptable risks, pointed out critical control points and developed food safety management system plan for management in these points. They also determined the regularities in the influence of the quality loop stages on the quality and safety parameters, identified and structured the processes using IDEF0 function modeling methodology, made the blocks of graphs that show the interaction of processes determining the directions of information and product flows and reflecting the interaction of processes. The authors developed an integrated system model and determined the information requirements for its functioning. They used the procedure of the system performance assessment in a company using self-assessment criteria. The authors showed the advantages of the implementation and improvement of the integrated system in the company located in Saransk, the Republic of Mordovia.
