RESEARCH OF NEW CHOPPED SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS FROM OFFAL

Abstract

Meeting the growing global demand for protein leads to supply-side problems. The expansion of the use of animal proteins through the wider use of meat offal could be part of the solution, subject to consumer approval. In this study, the prospects of using offal from beef carcass such as kidneys, heart, tongue, tripe, as well as local vegetable raw materials container powder in the production of chopped semi-finished products (cutlets) were studied. In addition, increasing the assortment of meat products will allow enterprises to be more flexible and adaptive to changing market conditions. New products can attract the attention of consumers and become a key competitive advantage of processing enterprises. The expansion of the product line also helps to increase revenues and improve the financial situation of the company by increasing sales volumes.The aim of the study is the rational use of secondary meat raw materials for the production of new products of therapeutic and preventive nutrition with increased biological value. In this article, sensory and organoleptic parameters, physico-chemical parameters (protein, fats, carbohydrates, moisture, ash,), vitamin composition, as well as textural profile analysis of new chopped semi-finished products from offal with the addition of local vegetable powder containers were studied.
