Multifunctional meat processing ingredients or non-meat ingredients alter the characteristics and properties of the meat to provide unique end-product effects or contribute in their way to the expected properties of processed meat products. Product properties that result from incorporating these non-meat ingredients are likely to be altered if these ingredients are reduced or eliminated, thereby making them a crucial part of most processed meats.
According to the American Meat Science Association, meat processing involves adding non-meat ingredients to improve texture and moisture retention. These ingredients can either enhance the functionality of existing muscle proteins or act as a separate system to hold moisture and modify texture.
