Abstract
A method for nitrite-curing meat generally, and bacon in particular, wherein the cured product exhibits both a reduced tendency to form nitrosamines and a resistance to surface charring when cooked. The method utilizes the essential step of introducing a reducing sugar alkylated in the C-1 position, a specific example of which is a methylglucoside, into the meat product before cooking for consumption. The alkylated reducing sugar can be introduced either as a constituent of the curing pickle or can be separately delivered into the meat prior to cooking.
