Abstract

The outlook of the use of ostrich meat for special meat chopped products technologies is theoretically substantiated in the article. It is shown that the ostrich meat is characterized by higher content of protein and lower content of cholesterol in comparison with the other traditional types of meat raw materials. The results of the experimental researches of technological properties of ostrich meat are set out. The parameters of pH and water activity of the extracts of chopped meat as well as water-binding capacity, water molecular mobility state and penetration degree of chopped meat are investigated. The mass losses of meat chopped semi-finished products during heat treatment are investigated. The analysis of the organoleptical parameters of the quality of meat chopped products from beef and ostrich meat is carried out. It was established that ostrich meat differs by 6.4% higher indicator of active acidity, while the difference between the water activity of ostrich meat and beef is insignificant. According to the results of the research, it is established that owing to the higher content of proteins, the ostrich meat has a higher by 5.7% index of water-binding capacity and a higher by 10.8% degree of penetration. Based on the analysis of the results of the study of the state of water molecular mobility in the investigated types of raw materials, the presence of a greater amount of bound water in ostrich meat in comparison to beef is confirmed. The inverse-proportional relationship between the parameters of the yield value and the water-binding capacity of the investigated samples of meat raw material, as well as a strong correlation between them, is revealed. It was established that mass losses during the heat treatment of semi-finished chopped ostrich meat products are almost 20% lower than those made from the beef. The results of laboratory testing of the recipes of chopped beefsteaks from ostrich meat and beef in different proportions are given. According to the results of the evaluation of the quality of the chopped beefsteaks by the organoleptical indicators, the using of the ostrich meat in a combination with beef at a ratio of 1:1 for chopped beefsteaks production is proposed.
