Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a composition for maintaining or improving the quality of processed meat, said composition comprising on a dry matter basis: - between 20 and 60% w/w acid equivalent of an organic acid component selected from the group of acetate, lactate and combinations thereof; - between 0.02 and 2% w/w acid equivalent of glutamate; and - between 5 and 50% w/w of a vegetal fiber selected from the group of microfibrillated cellulose fiber, inulin and combinations thereof wherein the composition when diluted with distilled water of 20°C to a dry matter content of 10% w/w has a pH in the range of 5.0 to 9.0. This composition can replace conventional stabilizers, acid regulators and anti-oxidants without deteriorating the quality of the processed meat. Furthermore, this composition can be composed of vegetal ingredients, with a more attractive consumer perception. The invention also relates to a method for the preparation of the aforementioned meat treatment composition.
