Abstract
The invention provides a method of producing an edible dehydrated meat product having a water activity level of between 0.7 and 0.85. According to the method 40-90% by weight of raw meat pieces are intimately mixed with 10-60% by weight of vegetable materials to form a stiff cohesive mixture adding during mixing one or more substances such as salt alone or salt in combination with dextrose, sucrose or fructose, or hydrolysed plant proteins to reduce or control the water activity in the final product. Thereafter the mixture is formed into a sheet or an extrusion and dried to produce a intermediate moisture product that is bacteriologically stable at a moisture content of 15-45%.
