Widely used as natural preservatives in meat and poultry products
Consumersare increasinglyaware of foods with high nutritional value, free of preservatives and chemicals. Meat is an ideal environment for bacterial growth dueto its high humidity, rich in growth factors such as nitrogen compounds, and its source of minerals and vitamins. Meat preservatives limit microbial activity and the chemicaland physical reactions that cause deterioration of meat and meat products. Meat preservation works by reducing the amount of substances in the meat,leading to pathogen/bacterial overgrowth. The most commonly used chemical preservatives are sodium benzoate, benzoic acid and propionic acid.
While these preservatives help control microbial growth in meat, they also reduce its nutritional content.
