From the studies cited above, it seems generally feasible
to stabilise fresh portioned meat with the help of
spices. However, the studies cited above mostly deal
with the eect of spices mixed into minced meat so that
results directly dealing with the stabilisation of portioned
meat are lacking. Furthermore, the types and
concentrations of spices have to be carefully chosen, if
this preservation technique is used in the Western
hemisphere. Spice mixtures with reduced contents of
single spices and adapted to the moderate European
taste represent a solution. Thus, the communication at
hand presents first and basic results concerning this
topic and deals with the stabilisation of fresh portioned
meat due to the application of spice mixtures adapted to
the European taste.
