APPLICATION AND REGULATION OF NITRATE AND NITRITE IN MANUFACTURING OF CHICKEN SAUSAGE
Keywords:
Sodium nitrate, sodium nitriteAbstract
Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) are essential chemical compounds extensively employed in the food industry, particularly in the production of chicken sausages. These additives serve multiple vital functions, including preservation, flavor enhancement, and microbial control. They safeguard against bacterial growth, particularly the perilous Clostridium botulinum, which can produce botulism toxin in inadequately processed meat products.
