Bacteriology and Meat Quality of Moisture Enhanced Pork from Retail Markets in Canada

Abstract: Packages of moisture-enhanced and conventional pork chops were collected from six Canadian retail stores on five sampling days. The composition of injection brines differed between retailers, but all contained polyphosphates and salt as main ingredients. Meat quality characteristics and bacteriology were analyzed from collected meat samples. Moisture enhanced chops had a higher pH and a higher water holding capacity than conventional. Juiciness and overall tenderness were improved in moisture enhanced chops. T… Show more

“…Heavy microbial contamination with E. coli and pseudomonads may occur with multi-needle injectors when surplus brine is recirculated through the pumping operation and contaminates the surface and interior of meat muscles (Wicklund et al, 2007;Langsrud et al, 2014;Wendler et al, 2017). Recirculation is not a universal practice, but the loss of brine is expensive and could cause effluent disposal problems (Varnam & Sutherland, 1995).…”

“…Non‐processed injected meat, also called enhanced meat, can be used for fresh meat consumption. Brine solutions including polyphosphates and NaCl have been used in the industry, in order to enhance tenderness and meat moisture by increasing WHC and juiciness (Wendler et al ., 2017).…”
