Research progress onnitrite substitute in meat products
Nitrite is a common additive in food processing industry, and it is mainly used in cured meat products. Nitrite not only can keep the flavor and color of meat products, but also has good antiseptic and antioxidation effects. Due to the concerns of health risk of synthetic additives, consumer demand for organic or natural meat products has increased too fast, so it is imperative to find a new type of additive, which can substitute for nitrite. This paper reviewed the research progress on application status of the new substitute of nitrite in meat products, including plant-based alternatives, microbial sources, organic acids, and the application prospects of these alternative measures in the future were discussed as well. The purpose was to provide a scientific basis for the meat processing enterprises to produce meat products with high safety and quality.
