“…Various aspects of using MD broiler meat in frankfurter production have been studied: the physical and functional properties of MD poultry meat, Schnell et al (1973); chopping time, Baker et al (1974); microscopy, ; carcass part and condition of meat, Baker and Kline (1984); nitrite versus sorbate, Larsen et al (1986); different types of production equipment, Dockerty et al (1986). Fewer investigators have studied the use of MD turkey meat in frankfurter production: 15% MD turkey meat with beef, Froning et al, 1971; fat and protein levels, Baker and Darfler, 1975;various chloride salts, Hand et al, 1982; chloride salts, phosphates, and Clostridium botulinum toxin, Barbut et al, 1986a,b. In a study comparing frankfurters prepared from hand-deboned, whole carcasses of 9-wk-old fryers, 17 mo-old-heavy fowl, and 24-wk-old turkeys, Baker et al (1970) found that turkey meat produced a less-stable emulsion than fowl or fryer meat; also, a frankfurter that was significantly more tender.…”
