ABSTRACT:
A pH increasing gas is placed under an operating pressure and in contact with the surface of a meat product to be treated. Keeping the pressurized pH increasing gas in contact with the meat product for an operating period increases the pH of the meat product at its surface. The increased pH reduces bacterial activity and helps maintain the quality of the meat product during storage. The method may also include placing a pH lowering gas at a neutralizing pressure in contact with the surface of the meat product and holding the pH lowering gas in contact with the meat product at the neutralizing pressure for a neutralizing period sufficient to bring the pH of the meat product back to a normal level. The method may further include the step of removing the treatment gas and any reaction materials either after releasing the pH increasing gas or after treating with the pH lowering gas if that step is employed.
