Mechanically separated poultry meat - what is it? technical conditions, gost. "mechanically separated poultry meat - what is it? GOST mechanically separated poultry meat" Information about the standard


Recently, unfavorable conditions for human life have been developing in large cities, as the number of toxic substances in the environment increases. Metabolic processes begin to be disrupted in the body, which are also associated with poor, irrational nutrition. Exactly proper nutrition improves the functioning of the immune system. All these problems became the reason for studying food products, in particular poultry meat. Meat products have become very popular all over the world today. It is a source of protein, so it occupies an important place in the human diet.

Currently, raw meat is actively used for the preparation of various products. Poultry meat mechanical deboning(we will look at what this is below) is used to produce semi-finished products with high taste, nutritional value and good presentation. The bones with meat slits that remain after the whole muscle pieces have been separated are sent for further processing to create semi-finished products.

Mechanically separated meat - what is it?

MMO or mechanically separated meat is the main raw material for cooking finished products from poultry. It is made from bones and excess fillets that are forced through a sieve under high pressure, resulting in a paste-like mince. It is interesting that quite recently manufacturers began to include MMO in their products, although they have been using it for quite a long time. They compare it to real poultry meat, but in fact MMO is somewhat fattier and contains bone fragments up to half a millimeter in size.

What should a bird's MMO be like?

Today, what semi-finished meat products will be like is controlled by GOST. Mechanically separated poultry meat, according to the requirements, must have a pasty viscous consistency, pink or red color, and a fresh smell. MMO should not contain bones larger than 0.75 mm, table salt, sodium nitrite, as well as materials of animal and plant origin, except poultry, foreign impurities and other additives. In the territory of the state where such standards have been adopted, there is a law, the norms of which must not be exceeded in the manufacture of raw materials for semi-finished products. Therefore, according to GOST, mechanically separated poultry meat ( technical specifications we will look at below) should not contain toxic elements. In addition, the amount of bone particles should not be more than 0.3%, although in reality up to 3% can be found very often.

Preparing meat for deboning

Before the mechanical deboning process begins, the meat is prepared. To do this, frozen carcasses, halves or quarters are thawed by defrosting, and then cleaned of contaminants on special tables in rooms equipped for this work. Then the bird is weighed and moved directly to the deboning shop, where the soft tissues are separated from the bone.

How is meat deboned?

MMO or mechanically separated poultry meat (we already know what it is) involves the use of chicken or turkey carcasses. They are processed using circular saws and pneumatic tools. Quite often, separators are used that crush bones and divide them into components (soft and hard). The result is a half-dry bone mass and a mass of muscle tissue, which have the appearance of pasty minced meat. It also includes fat, tendons, skin, and connective tissue. This product is used immediately after deboning. Today you can find different types of mechanical deboning devices on the market. The principle of their operation is the separation of soft components from hard components (bones) using high pressure.

Mechanically separated poultry meat: technical specifications

MMO must comply with the requirements of this standard and be produced in accordance with technological instructions. To produce such a product, only carcasses of chickens, hens and turkeys, as well as their frames, dorsal and lumbosacral parts, and necks should be taken. Raw materials should only come from healthy birds that have passed a veterinary examination. Many countries have very strict requirements for the production of mechanically separated meat. One of them, for example, is limiting the shelf life of bones used to obtain MMO - no more than a day at a temperature of zero degrees Celsius or eight days frozen.

What determines the quality of an MMO?

Mechanically separated meat (what it is, we discussed above) will become high quality if certain rules are followed. First of all, the deboned raw materials must be cooled, which makes it possible to destroy pathogenic bacteria.

It is also necessary to monitor the equipment, repair and sharpen it on time. The meat mass must be used immediately or frozen. The process of obtaining MMO is quite cost-effective, as it ensures waste-free production.

Transportation of MMO

According to the rules for transporting perishable products, mechanically separated poultry meat (what it is and how it is obtained was discussed above) can be transported by any transport, observing hygienic requirements. Thus, the meat is transported to the manufacturer’s premises, in accordance with the technological requirements for its production.

Storage of MMOs

Chilled mechanically separated meat is stored at a temperature of minus two and a half degrees Celsius for no more than seventy-two hours from the end of the cooling process. Mechanically separated poultry meat, which is described above, which is previously frozen, should be stored for no more than two months at a temperature not exceeding minus eighteen degrees Celsius.

Revision of the document taking into account
changes and additions prepared
JSC "Kodeks"

Recently, unfavorable conditions for human life have been developing in large cities, as the number of toxic substances in the environment increases. Metabolic processes begin to be disrupted in the body, which are also associated with poor, irrational nutrition. Proper nutrition improves the functioning of the immune system. All these problems became the reason for studying food products, in particular poultry meat. Meat products have become very popular all over the world today. It is a source of protein, so it occupies an important place in the human diet.

Currently, raw meat is actively used for the preparation of various products. Mechanically separated poultry meat (we will look at what it is below) is used to produce semi-finished products with high taste, nutritional value and good presentation. The bones with meat slits that remain after the whole muscle pieces have been separated are sent for further processing to create semi-finished products.

Mechanically separated meat - what is it?

MMO or mechanically separated meat is the main raw material for the preparation of finished poultry products. It is made from bones and excess fillets that are forced through a sieve under high pressure, resulting in a paste-like mince. It is interesting that quite recently manufacturers began to include MMO in their products, although they have been using it for quite a long time. They compare it to real poultry meat, but in fact MMO is somewhat fattier and contains bone fragments up to half a millimeter in size.

What should a bird's MMO be like?

Today, what semi-finished meat products will be like is controlled by GOST. Mechanically separated poultry meat, according to the requirements, must have a pasty viscous consistency, pink or red color, and a fresh smell. MMO should not contain bones larger than 0.75 mm, table salt, as well as materials of animal and plant origin, except poultry, foreign matter and other additives. In the territory of the state where such standards have been adopted, there is a law, the norms of which must not be exceeded in the manufacture of raw materials for semi-finished products. Therefore, according to GOST, mechanically separated poultry meat (we will discuss the technical conditions below) should not contain toxic elements. In addition, the amount of bone particles should not be more than 0.3%, although in reality up to 3% can be found very often.

Preparing meat for deboning

Before the mechanical deboning process begins, the meat is prepared. To do this, frozen carcasses, halves or quarters are thawed by defrosting, and then cleaned of contaminants on special tables in rooms equipped for this work. Then the bird is weighed and moved directly to the deboning shop, where the soft tissues are separated from the bone.

How is meat deboned?

MMO or mechanically separated poultry meat (we already know what it is) involves the use of chicken or turkey carcasses. They are processed using circular saws and pneumatic tools. Quite often, separators are used that crush bones and divide them into components (soft and hard). The result is a half-dry bone mass and a mass of muscle tissue, which have the appearance of pasty minced meat. It also includes fat, tendons, skin, and connective tissue. This product is used immediately after deboning. Today you can find different types of mechanical deboning devices on the market. The principle of their operation is the separation of soft components from hard components (bones) by using high pressure.

Mechanically separated poultry meat: technical specifications

MMO must comply with the requirements of this standard and be produced in accordance with To produce such a product, only carcasses of chickens, hens and turkeys, as well as their frames, dorsal and lumbosacral parts, and necks should be taken. Raw materials should only come from healthy birds that have passed a veterinary examination. Many countries have very strict requirements for the production of mechanically separated meat. One of them, for example, is limiting the shelf life of bones used to obtain MMO - no more than a day at a temperature of zero degrees Celsius or eight days frozen.

What determines the quality of an MMO?

Mechanically separated meat (what it is, we discussed above) will become high quality if certain rules are followed. First of all, the deboned raw materials must be cooled, which makes it possible to destroy pathogenic bacteria.

It is also necessary to monitor the equipment, repair and sharpen it on time. The meat mass must be used immediately or frozen. The process of obtaining MMO is quite cost-effective, as it ensures waste-free production.

Transportation of MMO

According to the transportation rules, mechanically separated poultry meat (what it is and how it is obtained was discussed above) can be transported by any transport, observing hygienic requirements. Thus, the meat is transported to the manufacturer’s premises, in accordance with the technological requirements for its production.

Storage of MMOs

Mechanical deboning is stored at a temperature of minus two and a half degrees Celsius for no more than seventy-two hours from the end of the cooling process. Mechanically separated poultry meat, which is described above, which is previously frozen, should be stored for no more than two months at a temperature not exceeding minus eighteen degrees Celsius.

What is an MMO and what does it consist of?

Essentially, it is skin, fat, connective tissue and tendons remaining after cutting the carcass into bone parts. To obtain mechanically deboned poultry meat, bones are passed through pneumatic installations, where soft tissue is separated under high pressure. The main advantage of the technology is that this mechanically separated meat contains virtually no sharp fragments or bone residues, and the resulting minced meat has a uniform consistency.

All parameters and characteristics of the meat product must comply with GOST, technical conditions and instructions adopted in production.

GOST: mechanically separated meat

The state standard strictly regulates the requirements for this semi-finished product. The composition must not contain bone residues larger than 0.75 mm, feather residues, added moisture, salt and other substances not related to poultry. According to organoleptic characteristics, mechanically separated meat according to GOST must have:

  • viscous paste-like consistency;
  • fresh smell;
  • red or pinkish color.

A separate clause in GOST for mechanically separated meat regulates the mass content of moisture, bone particles, fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Mechanically separated poultry meat - technical specifications

According to production instructions and technical conditions, mechanically separated meat can only be produced from the frame, keel, neck and back. All components must be taken only from healthy birds that have undergone veterinary control. In addition, bone mass is suitable for use only within 24 hours after cutting carcasses if stored refrigerated, or within 8 days if frozen.

Immediately after production according to GOST and technical conditions, mechanically separated meat can be immediately put into culinary processing or frozen for subsequent storage. After which the products are sent to a cold warehouse, where they are stored at low temperatures.

As with any freezing, MMO is subject to the requirements and conditions for transporting perishable products.
