One of the sources of sodium are meat products. Increased consumption of meat products and sodium intake leads to serious health problems. The task of reducing the dosage of sodium chloride in minced meat needs to be addressed. The partial replacement of table salt with sea salt will reduce the sodium concentration in products to 20%. It is established that this modification increases the moisture-binding properties of minced meat and lowers the dosage of salt in the mass of raw meat, which will reduce the level of harm to the body due to excessive consumption of sausages. It is proposed to introduce a bacterial preparation based on the strain Staphylococcus carnosus, which will reduce the amount of sodium nitrite in the finished products. Technology has been developed to regulate the composition of microelements in meat products by enriching them with a kelp extract. It was found that changes in the composition of minced meat can adversely affect the taste and physicochemical properties of the product, which is confirmed by expert studies. As a result of laboratory studies, it was found that a partial change of salt in the sea helps to improve the stability and physicochemical quality of minced meat (active acidity, water activity, moisture retention, and shear stress). According to the research results, the recipe of sausages recommended for implementation at the enterprises of the meat processing industry of Ukraine has been developed.

“…In the production of fermented meat products, microorganisms of various taxonomic groups play an extremely important role, namely in the formation of specific taste, aroma, color, and consistency [24]. Both fermentative and spontaneous microflora take part in the components' transformation of meat raw materials during the maturation of such products, and the course of this process depends on the metabolic activity of the strains [25], [26].…”

In the production of fermented meat products, microorganisms of various taxonomic groups play an extremely important role, namely in the formation of specific taste, aroma, colour, and consistency. Both fermentative and spontaneous microflora take part in the components' transformation of meat raw materials during the maturation of such products, and the course of this process depends on the metabolic activity of the strains. In accordance, this article's purpose is to select microbiota compositions (lactic acid bacteria and coagulase-negative cocci) for the fermentation of meat raw materials. So, as a result of the research, 4 compositions were selected, two of which are lactic acid bacteria with micrococci (No. 2, 3) and two lactic acid bacteria with staphylococci (No. 1, 6). They were characterized by the high productivity of each of the components of the leavening composition, in particular, it was established that the number of MKB increased – by 4.3-6.5 times, and micrococci and staphylococci – by 7.7-28.6 times, respectively. For these compositions, mutual stimulation of the components was observed, contributing to the active microorganisms' development and their biochemical activity. Fermentation compositions No. 1, 6, 4, and 6 had the highest nitrite-reducing activity, and a high level of proteolysis characterized compositions No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. According to the results of determining the antagonistic activity against opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, it was established that the investigated compositions exhibit antagonistic activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms.

“…Chitosan is one of the most widely used edible coatings due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity. When applied to fruits, vegetables and berries, chitosan creates a semi-permeable film that protects against the development of fungus diseases and slows down metabolic processes [11]. This edible coating is widely used for post-harvest fresh fruits and vegetables preservation.…”

Raspberry is a perishable berry raw material with a high capacity for mechanical and microbiological damage, and therefore, after harvesting, it is necessary to use appropriate technologies to preserve its quality and extend the storage time. This work aimed to study the influence of different concentrations of chitosan solutions on the quality and duration of storage of raspberries under refrigerating conditions. Raspberries were picked at the consumer maturity stage in perforated plastic containers with a capacity of 500 grams. The berries were processed by spraying with 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% chitosan solution, then removing residual moisture. The storage was carried out for twelve days in a refrigerating chamber at a temperature of 2 °С and relative humidity of 95%. The research was performed according to the physical, chemical, and organoleptic indicators, determining the changes in the mass fraction of ascorbic acid, the mass fraction of sugars during storage, taste, aroma, colour, etc. consistency and appearance at the end of storage. It was found that the loss of ascorbic acid in the processed berries was 1.5-3.9 times less than in the reference sample. A similar situation was observed with the mass fraction of sugars, which prevailed 0.9-2.5 times in the processed samples. According to the organoleptic indicators, the samples with a solution concentration of 1.0% and 2.0% were recognized as the best. According to the results of experimental investigations, it was established that pre-processing of berries with chitosan solutions is a promising method to slow down unwanted metabolic processes that take place after harvesting.
