Abstract
Microbiologically stable meat products are prepared by controlling their sugar/fat content. These products are of intermediate-moisture content and have sufficient sugar solutes to provide a bacteriostatic effect. The sugars used are predominantly of low molecular weight and in addition provide a significant freezing point depression. It is preferred that the sugar comprise a substantial amount of fructose, dextrose or a combination thereof because these sugars resist crystallization which causes apparent hardness at low temperatures. The products of this invention can be used to make a variety of consumer products, including hot dogs, meat loaf, sausage and other processed meat products.
