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 sous
vide 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 account, NaCl could be used at a concentration
of 0.70%.
Ionic strength was increased by the addition of both
salts. Minimum CL was obtained with a IS of 1 M (salts
combination: 0.25% STPP + 1.20% NaCl).
pH was only dependent on STPP with a threshold concentration
of 0.25%. After this concentration pH was not
strongly modified.
