A method of processing meat is disclosed. The method includes subjecting the meat (pork or turkey) to high pressure processing at a pressure of at least 175 MPa for a time of 20 minutes or less, wherein post mortem glycolysis is inhibited. For beef, a pressure of at least 200 MPa and a hold time of from 30 seconds to 20 minutes are used.

The utility model discloses a meat tenderizer with adjustable spacing, which relates to the field of meat processing technology. The meat tenderizer with adjustable spacing comprises a fixing frame, an installation chamber, a driving tendon cutting roller, a driven tendon cutting roller and a driving mechanism, wherein, the installation chamber is arranged in the fixing frame, the driving tendon cutting roller and the driven tendon cutting roller are rotatably assembled in the installation chamber, and the driving mechanism is arranged on the fixing frame to drive the driving tendon cutting roller and the driven tendon cutting roller to rotate. The utility model is characterized in that both sides of the fixing frame are symmetrically equipped with adjustment holes for the driven tendon cutting roller to pass through at both ends. The meat tenderizer also comprises a push frame arranged in the installation chamber for pushing the driven tendon cutting roller to move along the adjustment holes, and an operating component for pushing the push frame, with one end located on the side of the push frame away from the driven tendon cutting roller and the other end passing through the fixing frame. The above technical solution has the advantage of adjusting the gap distance between the driving and driven tendon cutting rollers, so that the meat tenderizer can adapt to different thicknesses of meat pieces, without the need to cut the meat pieces into the same thickness to cut the tendons and tenderize the meat pieces.

A massaging press roller for tenderizing a food product includes a shaft and at least one roller element disposed on the shaft. The at least one roller element is configured to impart a pulsating pounding action on a food product.

A process that includes receiving, by a trimmer via a conveyor system, a foodstuff, automatically trimming, by the trimmer and based on trimming instructions, the foodstuff that results in trimmings and a trimmed foodstuff. The process also includes advancing, via the conveyor system, the trimmings of the foodstuff to a trimmings collector, and advancing, via the conveyor system, the trimmed foodstuff out of the trimmer. The trimmer is provided on the conveyor system prior to an injector such that the trimmer performs the automatic trimming of the foodstuff prior to injecting the foodstuff with a liquid solution by the injector.

According to an aspect of the embodiment, a tenderizer includes a plurality of blades that cuts meat fibers and/or sinews, and a fixing part that fixes the plurality of blades. At least one of the plurality of blades is attached with a different angle from an attaching angle of at least one of the other of the plurality of blades with respect to a predetermined reference direction on the fixing part.

An assembly according to the invention includes two pairs of relays, such as SSR semiconductor relays. The relays of each pair operate with the opposite direct current potentials. Direct current with the voltage of 220 V to 400 V as well as control lines are connected to the clamps of the controlled relays. The operation of the relays is controlled by means of a controller, such as a PLC programmable controller. The relays are connected to the first electrode clamp, and the other relays to the second electrode clamp. The assembly operates in such a way that the PLC controller activates the relays from the line, which simultaneously activate the flow of the direct current with the voltage of 220 V to 400 V and mutually opposite polarity. As a result of this, a difference of potentials appears on the electrode clamps.
