Analysis of Common Quality Problems in the Production of Sausage Products

I. Quality problems in appearance(1) Rupture of the intestine1. Problems with the casingIf the casing itself is in varying degrees of spoilage and deterioration, the intestinal wall will be uneven in thickness, loose, fragile, and have poor resistance to damage. Casing with salt erosion will contract and lose elasticity. Using such casing for stuffing will inevitably cause rupture.2. Problems with the meat fillingIf the meat filling has a high water content, it will expand rapidly during...

Analysis of the Reasons for Sausage Oiling and Solutions

I. Reasons for Oil Leakage1. Low proportion of lean meat: After meat is minced and tenderized, a large amount of salt-soluble protein will be released under the action of salt and phosphate. Salt-soluble protein has a strong ability to wrap fat. If the proportion of meat in the product is relatively low, the ability to wrap fat will decrease, eventually leading to oil leakage in the product.2. Excessive fat content: Many manufacturers increase the fat content to reduce costs. Despite the full...
