Microbiological Properties of Mechanically Deboned Poultry Meat that Applied Lactic Acid, Acetic Acid and Sodium Lactate

After the removal of the usual meat cuts, there is always an amount of meat which is firmly attached to the bones. Mechanically deboned meat is a product which is separated from the bones. During deboning process, microbial growth on the products is high. In our experimental trials, poultry chest bone samples were kept in 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5% concentrated lactic acid, 0.2 and 0.3% acetic acid; 1 and 2% concentrated sodium lactate for 10 min then passed through deboning process. Then, the samples were packaged and stored for 4 days at +4°C. Results are reported.
