UTILIZATION OF COLLAGEN ISOLATE AS A CARRIER OF POTASSIUM IODIDE IN PRODUCTION AND STORAGE OF DISHES FROM TURKEY MEAT
Katarzyna Waszkowiak, Krystyna Szymandera-Buszka, Witold Janitz
ABSTRACT
 In  the work an isolate of  connective tissue (collagen) was used  as a carrier of potassium iodide to increase the retention of iodine introduced into dishes made from turkey meat. Two kinds of dishes, it means cooked meat  balls and fried meat balls which after thermal treatment were kept under chilling and frozen conditions  were took into account. The selected variants of the thermal treatment  have shown, that the cooking resulted in higher losses of iodine as the frying process. After the thermal treatment, almost 40% higher content of iodine in fried meat balls in comparison to  its content in  cooked meat balls was found. Type of iodine carrier, that is  collagen  isolate or NaCl, did not influenced in essential way on the range of losses of this element during thermal treatment. However the storage of both types of dishes has shown, that collagen isolate impregnated with  potassium iodide garantees about 30% greater retention of  iodine in dishes than the use of iodized table salt.
Key words: collagen, iodized table salt, iodine carrier, iodine retention, food enrichment.
