Meat Floss
The first heat treatment is the precooking of raw meat materials and the second heat treatment
the cooking of the finished product mix at the end of the processing stage.
Raw-fermented Sausages
Raw-fermented sausages are uncooked meat products and consist of more or less coarse mixtures
of lean meats and fatty tissues combined with salts, nitrite (curing agent), sugars and spices and
other non-meat ingredients filled into casings. They receive their characteristic properties
(flavour, firm texture, red curing colour) through fermentation processes. Shorter or longer
ripening phases combined with moisture reduction (drying) are necessary to build-up the
typical flavour and texture of the final product. The products are not subjected to any heat
treatment during processing and are in most cases distributed and consumed raw.
Dried Meat Products
Dried meat products are the result of the simple dehydration or drying of lean meat in natural
conditions or in an artificially created environment. Their processing is based on the experience
that dehydrated meat, from which a substantial part of the natural tissue fluid was evaporated,
will not easily spoil. Pieces of lean meat without adherent fat are cut to a specific uniform shape
that permits the gradual and equal drying of whole batches of meat. Dried meat is not
comparable to fresh meat in terms of shape and sensory and processing properties, but has
significantly longer shelf-life. Many of the nutritional properties of meat, in particular the protein
content, remain unchanged through drying.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The manufacturing processes are done by the three departments of the Sunpride Foods, Inc.
processing plant. They are the meat, canning and spice departments. The meat department does
the meat processing and packing. Meat processing involves all the major processes and unitoperations for canned goods and frozen meat products. Accordingly, packing involves the
slicing, weighing and packing operations. The canning department is solely dedicated to the
canning operations: seaming, retorting, and labeling. Lastly, the spice department does the
preparation of all spices to be used and other dry ingredients. This department is also responsible
for the production of flavor mixes.
The two major manufacturing processes refer to the two major products: the frozen processed
meats and the anned goods. They are the products that hae high demands in the market and are
manufactured in bulk.
Frozen Processed Meats
1. Meat processing meat from the storage facilities undergoes different processes. It
involves but is not limited to these substeps:
a. Size reduction involves minimizing the size of meat either by grinding, cutting, or
chopping.
b. Salting is the addition of salt. This results in drying of meat and deactivation of
microbial cells.
c. Curing is the addition of curing agents such as nitrites. This improves the flavor and
appearance of meat. It also prolongs the keeping quality of meat.
d. Mixing
e. Utilization of spices and other additives such as ascorbic acid and sugar.
2. Slicing the meat is sliced or cut to the desired shapes
3. Weighing the product is weighed according to standards and product specifications
4. Packing by use of vacuum packaging material, the finished product is ensured that air is
removed.
Canned Goods
1. Meat preparation the meat contents undergoes heat exhaust to remove the air in the
headspace. The open can passes through a steam chamber for a definite period.
2. Seaming involves the closing of the can. It is ritical stage in canning operations
3. Retorting the can is subjected to high temperature and pressure in a pressure cooker.
Steam cooks the contents inside the can.
4. Labeling after 1 hour of air cooling, the labels are put into place by a machine.
