Abstract

The objective of this project is the use of antioxidants obtained from natural herbs in the development of meat products to meat sheep looking their antioxidant properties and sensory as well as add value to the final product, which will be developed with low commercial value of meat. Will create two classes of products that are healthier and have good sensory characteristics and long shelf life: 1) Product restructured raw (type hamburger): product is not cooked and stored frozen and 2) Built cooked (sausage): product embedded cooked, smoked and stored at room temperature. The appeal of healthful products will be achieved by adding natural antioxidants based extracts of herbs to be selected because of its antioxidant power and harmonization of flavors with the lamb. These extracts will be prepared solvents with different polarities (water, ethanol, hexane) through maceration in the type homogenizer ultra-Turrax and soxhlet type extractor. After complete removal of the solvent extractor measures will be made of phenolic compounds (reducing power) and three methods of antioxidant capacity different. The meat products will be evaluated by means of sensory affective tests (nine-point hedonic scale) to check the influence of natural extracts on the acceptance of manufactured products. The products are characterized with respect to chemical composition, loss of weight by cooking and texture instrumental and evaluated for storage stability, through physical and chemical (objective color, substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), protein oxidation, index of peroxide and pH) and microbiological (psychrotrophic aerobic and anaerobic, coliforms at 45ºC, coagulase-positive staphylococci, sulfite-reducing Clostridia and Salmonella) (AU)
