Meat Processing Applications
Cured Meat Production Sodium erythorbate is used primarily to bring out a nice red color in sausage, ham, bacon and other cured meat products or fish products as it can accelerate the reduction of nitrite & nitrate to nitric oxide which generates the pink colour in meat. Meat processors utilize sodium erythorbate for accelerating curing processes, enhancing color development, and reducing nitrite requirements in processed meat products.
Sausage Manufacturing When used in processed meat such as hot dogs, bologna, and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrite reduces to nitric oxide, thus facilitating a faster cure and retaining the pink coloring. Sausage manufacturers employ sodium erythorbate for color retention, curing acceleration, and quality enhancement in fresh and smoked sausage products.
Bacon & Ham Processing Meat processing facilities use sodium erythorbate for bacon curing, ham processing, and specialty cured meat applications requiring optimal color development and reduced processing times.
