Contacting a processed food product with an aqueous solution containing an effective amount of an alkali silicate reduces bacterial contamination of the product or retards bacterial growth on the product or both reduces bacterial contamination and retards bacterial growth on the product, without substantial detriment to the organoleptic properties of the product.

Method for treating processed food products

An animal protein-containing food product contains animal protein, water and an amount of an alkali silicate effective to enhance the moisture retention of the muscle food product. A method for treating an animal protein-containing food product to improve the moisture retention of the food product includes the step of contacting the muscle food product or food product ingredient with an alkali silicate.

Animal protein-containing food products having improved moisture retention and method of preparing

Contacting an animal carcass with an aqueous solution containing an effective amount of an alkali silicate reduces bacterial contamination of the carcass or retards bacterial growth on the carcass or both reduces bacterial contamination and retards bacterial growth on the carcass, without substantial detriment to the organoleptic properties of the carcass. The method is also useful in treating edible plant materials, such as fruits and vegetables, to reduce bacterial contamination, retard bacterial growth or reduce bacterial contamination and retard bacterial growth on the plant materials.

Method for treating an animal carcass to reduce bacterial contamination

Gram negative antibacterial composition

Broad-range antibacterial composition and process of applying to food surfaces

Phosphate is recovered from waste. Trialkali metal orthophosphate used to reduce, remove or retard bacterial contamination during raw meat slaughter including poultry, fish and shellfish and red meat evisceration is recovered from an aqueous waste and recycled as a food additive for animal feed. The waste water containing the phosphate can be collected and mixed with offal during processing of the offal or may be concentrated and blended with the offal as feed for animals or may be reacted with an alkaline earth metal salt and concentrated and used as a calcium and phosphate supplement for animal feed. Trisodium orthophosphate is reacted with calcium chloride and the resulting precipitate removed from the aqueous stream by filtration or centrifugation or other means for separation. The precipitate is then added to offal during processing for animal feed or dried sterilized and sold as an animal feed mineral supplement.

Conservation of orthophosphate waste for preparing an animal feed

A process for treating animals and/or seafood comprising the step of contacting the animal and/or seafood with a treatment solution containing trialkali metal orthophosphate at a temperature of between about 90.degree. F. and about 200.degree. F. for a time period effective to remove, reduce or retard bacterial contamination without significantly depreciating the organoleptic properties of the animal and/or seafood is provided.

Process for treating red meat, poultry and seafood to control bacterial

A process for treating poultry, red meat or seafood comprising the step of contacting the poultry, red meat or seafood with: (1) a treatment solution comprising trialkali metal orthophosphate; and (2) steam for a time period effective to remove, reduce or retard bacterial contamination without significantly depreciating the organoleptic properties of the animal and/or seafood is provided.

Process for treating red meat, poultry or seafood to control bacterial

Increased shelf-life is obtained by treating poultry carcasses with a treatment solution containing an alkali metal orthophosphate, e.g., trisodium orthophosphate, prior to chilling.

Process for treating poultry carcasses to increase shelf-life

The surface of red meat is treated with an trialkali metal orthophosphate to reduce, remove, retard or control salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and spoilage bacteria without causing organoleptic depreciation of the meat, including color change.

Process for treating red meat to control bacterial contamination and/or

Salmonella, campylobacter and other bacteria can be removed, reduced or retarded on poultry carcasses by treating poultry with a treatment solution having an alkaline pH and containing an alkali metal orthophosphate, e.g., trisodium orthophosphate.

Process for treating poultry carcasses to control bacterial

The surface of red meat is treated with an trialkali metal orthophosphate to reduce, remove, retard or control salmonella, campylobacter, listeria, and spoilage bacteria without causing organoleptic depreciation of the meat, including color change.

Fish or shellfish is treated with an alkali metal orthophosphate to reduce, remove, retard or control bacteria without causing organoleptic depreciation.

Process for treating fish and shellfish to control bacterial

Salmonella and other bacteria can be removed, reduced or retarded on poultry carcasses by treating poultry with a treatment solution containing an alkali metal orthophosphate, e.g., trisodium orthophosphate.
