the results of the present paper show that brine injection formulated with stpp and nacl improved yield and appearance of semitendinosus muscles cooked by the sousvide technology
According to previous discussion there was a concentration of the salts that produced maximum yield(>100%):0.25%stpp and 1.20%nacl.if health considerations are taken into acconnt,nacl could be used at a concentratuon of 0.70%.
lonic strength was increased by the addition of both salts. minimum cl was obtained with a IS of 1M(salts combination:0.25%stpp+1.20%nacl).
PH eas only dependent on stpp with a threshold concentration of 0.25% after this concentration Ph was not strongly modified.
Colour a parameter was modified by the salts.nacl alone produced a reduction of a values of this parameter in comparison to non-treated samples.Therefore,the pervious recommended concentrations of sttp and nacl did not alter substantially the colour of the sous vide cooked samples.
It is apparent that under the present experimental conditions,precisely at temperatures of 60-65 c,the formation of a stable gel has occurred. under these conditions the gle structure was able to entrap water,reducing in consequence CL.
