Precooling of Duck Carcass with Organic Acid and Bacteria Reduction Technique
This study aimed to determine the optimal formulation of organic acid mixture to replace the duck carcasses and e-valuate the effect on the sensory quality and chemical properties of duck meat.The optimal addition concentration of glacial acetic acid,lactic acid and peracetic acid was determined by one-factor test,and the addition amount of the above three or-ganic acids was optimized.The results showed that the 1.6%acetic acid,0.5%lactic acid and 0.014%peroxyacetic acid were the best ratio.Under this conditions,the sterilization rate of organic acid on the surface microorganisms of duck carcass was(99.57±0.41)%.The results of this study provided a feasible formula for the application of precooling organic acids in duck carcasses,and provided a basis for the development and implementation of sterilization measures in the workshop.
