The best quality indicators are found in semi-finished products made from chilled, ripened meat. Chilled semi-finished products can be obtained from frozen meat (after complete defrosting). Stability during storage of natural semi-finished poultry meat products in chilled and frozen form, first of all, depends on the production culture. Therefore, during their manufacture it is necessary to especially carefully observe sanitary and hygienic requirements.

For semi-finished products, it is recommended to use not the entire poultry carcass, but only the most valuable parts, such as the breast and legs, and the rest of the carcass with a high bone content is sent for mechanical deboning. Mechanically separated poultry meat is used to produce hunting and Kuban pel-meni.

Selling the most valuable parts of the carcass in the form of semi-finished products is economically feasible, since the consumer purchases boneless meat

(fillet or with a small amount of them), the company sells it at more high price than whole carcasses, and the edible parts are completely removed from the remaining part of the carcass during mechanical deboning.

Natural semi-finished products from chicken meat. Chicken meat is used to produce: chicken fillet with bone; chicken leg; chicken broth set; chicken carcass, prepared for cooking.

Chicken carcasses prepared for cooking are characterized by a whitish-yellow color with a pink tint. For lean carcasses - yellowish-gray with a reddish tint. Fillet and fillet with bone are light pink or pink in color. The legs are characterized by a whitish-yellow color with a pink tint or a yellowish-gray color with a reddish tint. In the broth set, the color of the areas covered with skin is whitish-yellow; at os-tatkov fabrics are pale pink or pink. Subcutaneous ft internal fat is pale yellow or yellow in color. N natural semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat. Broiler chicken meat is used to produce breast, quarter (hind), leg, soup set and fillet. To produce semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat, gutted carcasses of categories 1 and 2 and carcasses that do not meet the requirements of category 2 in terms of processing quality, but comply with the state of the muscular system (fatness) of categories 1 and 2, are used, intended for industrial processing, in a chilled state with shelf life of no more than one day. The range and characteristics of natural semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat are presented in table. 2.25. Semi-finished products from broiler chickens have dense, elastic muscles. When pressing with a finger, the resulting hole slowly levels out. At the breasts

the color is pale pink, in quarters the parts of the legs covered with skin are pale yellow, the inside is pale yellow to yellow. Broiler chicken fillets are characterized by a light pink or pink color. The leg has a pale yellow color with a pink tint.

In the soup set, the color of the areas covered with skin is pale yellow, while the remaining fabric is pale pink. The internal fat is pale yellow or yellow in color.

Technological process The production of semi-finished products from broiler chicken meat is carried out in accordance with the technological scheme (Fig. 2.19). Prepared carcasses of broiler chickens are dismembered into pieces using a Stork (Netherlands) S-5000 A machine, a domestic Ya6-FRTs machine or a circular saw. Table 2.24

When dismembering broiler chicken carcasses using a Ya6-FRTs machine, the carcasses are fed into the conveyor cells, placing the back side up towards the machine. The machine automatically dismembers the carcasses into four parts: the chest, two hind quarters and the dorsal-scapular part with wings (Fig. 2.20-2.22). The remaining skin of the neck on the chest is cut off by hand.

The separated parts of the carcass are sent for packaging. Tobacco chickens. Natural semi-finished products - tobacco chickens are produced from gutted or semi-gutted carcasses of category 2 chickens in a chilled (with a shelf life of up to 3 days) or frozen. In appearance, these semi-finished products are flat-shaped gutted carcasses without kidneys and lungs, the surface is without stumps and hair-like feathers. The smell characteristic of benign meat. The weight of semi-finished products (one carcass) should not exceed 1000 g. The technological process is regulated by the scheme (Fig. 2.23). Amateur chickens. To produce semi-finished chicken products, amateurs use gutted and semi-gutted carcasses of category 2 chickens and category 2 broiler chickens in a chilled state with a shelf life of no more than 3 days in a frozen state. Semi-finished amateur chicken is a flat-shaped gutted carcass in its entirety or in the form of longitudinal halves without kidneys, lungs and neck skin. The surface is moistened, with particles of spices, without stumps and hair-like feathers. The smell is characteristic of benign chicken meat with a pronounced aroma of spices. The sodium chloride content should not exceed 2.5%. The weight of the finished semi-finished product (one carcass or half carcass) should not exceed 1000 g. Table 2.25

How much does semi-finished poultry meat cost (average price per 1 kg)?

Moscow and Moscow region.

Recently, semi-finished poultry meat products, as well as other types of usually frozen fast food products, have enjoyed unprecedented popularity and demand. and we're talking about not only about already cut parts of carcasses poultry(wing, drumstick, thigh, breast, etc.), as well as about finished culinary products. For example, poultry nuggets or chicken cutlets, as well as kebab and other semi-finished poultry products.

In the food industry, all semi-finished poultry meat products are classified according to two main parameters. As a rule, the type of meat used in the manufacture of semi-finished poultry products is taken into account. In addition, the production technology of one or another type of semi-finished poultry meat product is taken into account. According to this classification, depending on the type of meat, semi-finished products are distinguished from chicken meat, from chickens or broiler chickens, as well as from turkey meat, goose meat, as well as quail and guinea fowl meat.

If we consider the range of semi-finished poultry meat products from the point of view of production technology, then we can distinguish two main types - natural and chopped products. Natural semi-finished poultry meat products include whole poultry carcasses already prepared for further culinary processing, as well as components of such carcasses. for example, thigh, drumstick, as well as wing, breast or soup set. In addition, natural, semi-finished poultry meat products include fillets, as well as stuffed culinary products in a casing.

Chopped semi-finished poultry products include culinary products such as cutlets, meatballs, schnitzel, minced meat, as well as kebabs or nuggets. Chopped semi-finished products can be molded or in a shell. In addition to the above basic classification of semi-finished poultry meat products, there is a distinction based on thermal regime. For example, semi-finished products from poultry meat are chilled, frozen, as well as frozen and deep-frozen products.

For each specific semi-finished poultry meat product, sanitary and epidemiological standards establish a certain thermal state. Semi-finished poultry meat products compare favorably with other meat products due to their relatively low caloric content. In addition, semi-finished poultry meat products, when properly prepared, can become an excellent dietary food product.

In the modern age of rapid technology and constant progress, everything large quantity housewives use affordable semi-finished poultry products in their daily diet. Such food products do not require much time to prepare. In addition, if you approach food preparation with soul and imagination, even an ordinary semi-finished poultry product can turn into a small but real personal masterpiece of culinary art.

Calorie content of semi-finished poultry meat 238 kcal

Energy value of semi-finished poultry meat products (ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates - bju).

Semi-finished poultry meat products are divided into natural, breaded, marinated and chopped, and also, depending on the thermal state, into chilled and frozen. For each semi-finished product, meat from a certain part of the carcass is used.

Natural semi-finished products They produce portioned (consisting of one or two pieces of meat of the same size and weight) and small-piece (consisting of several pieces of meat).

TO portioned semi-finished products relate:

à chicken fillet without bone or with bone;

à chicken breast - oval-shaped pectoral muscles without skin;

à leg - part chicken carcass, consisting of the femur and tibia with adjacent muscles and skin;

à thigh - the thigh part of the carcass;

à shin - tibia and adjacent tissues;

à turkey quarter (hind) - consists of the tibia, femur, ischium, pubic bones, caudal vertebrae and coccyx with muscle tissue and skin;

à turkey wing (whole) - the front limb of the carcass, separated at the shoulder joint;

§8.2. Commodity characteristics semi-finished poultry meat products 195

à the shoulder part of the turkey wing - the humerus with adjacent muscle tissue and skin;

à the ulnar part of the turkey wing - the ulna and radius bones with adjacent muscle tissue and skin.

Chicken carcasses are divided into longitudinal halves, which are packaged in plastic bags or films. When bird carcasses are completely gutted, sets of by-products are prepared, which include the head, legs, skinless neck, wings, gizzard and heart. Sets of by-products are packaged in polyethylene and other films approved for use in the food industry.

The semi-finished product “set of poultry meat” is non-standard meat that does not meet the requirements for fatness, weight, processing, obtained during processing.

TO small-piece semi-finished products include a chicken broth set consisting of meat bone pieces weighing 50 g (non-standard meat in weight, fatness, processing, etc.), chops and minced cutlets.

Breaded semi-finished products They are pieces of meat, loosened with chop to give them tenderness, moistened with egg mixture and rolled (breaded) in bread flour. When frying, flour forms a crust, which delays the leakage and evaporation of moisture, which makes the product juicy. “Amateur chickens” are prepared from breaded products - carcasses or half-carcasses of chickens of the 2nd fatness category, coated with special spices.



Marinated or brined semi-finished products produced from carcasses and parts of carcasses of chickens, chickens, broiler chickens. A brine is prepared, which contains table salt, granulated sugar or glucose, phosphates, and soluble soy protein or food caseinate, carrageenan, starch, xanthan gum, and the complex food additive “Gummin” can also be added. It contains the following components: carrageenan, xanthan gum, sodium phosphate, soy protein, corn starch, nutmeg, glucose, black or white pepper, cardamom, monosodium glutamate.

Carcasses are either injected with brine, massaged mechanically for up to 30 minutes, spices are added and kept

196 Chapter 8. Semi-finished meat products and canned food

from 6 to 12 hours, or lay the rads vertically with the breast down in a container, each row is sprinkled with a mixture of ground black pepper and chopped garlic, poured with brine, covered with a wire rack, kept at a cooling temperature from 12 to 20 hours, removed and kept on tables with a wire rack. brine drainage. As a result of this treatment, the volume of the carcass increases and it looks more plump.

During production poultry shawarma Add wine vinegar or a 3% solution of citric (acetic) acid to the brine.

During production marinated kebab the prepared pieces of meat are mixed with salt, finely chopped onions, herbs, wine vinegar and a 3% solution of citric (acetic) acid, placed in containers and kept for 8 to 12 hours.

Tobacco chickens They differ from other semi-finished products in the shape of the carcass: the ridge of the breastbone of the carcass is sawed down to the base of the neck and given a flat shape.

Amateur chicks have a flat shape, the brine contains sodium nitrite, food phosphates and the complex food additive “Gummin”.

Chopped semi-finished poultry products produce the following types:

à chicken Kiev - large and small fillets are cut from the carcass (the pectoralis major and minor muscles are oval in shape with a surface film without skin), they are cleaned of films and tendons, and lightly beaten. Place minced meat and butter in the middle of a large fillet, cover with a small fillet, wrap the edges of a large fillet so that the minced meat is covered with muscle tissue, give the product a pear shape, dip it twice in egg and roll in breadcrumbs;

à Kiev cutlets made from minced meat - minced chicken (turkey) meat (70%), butter (17%), eggs (3%), hydrated soy protein (6%).

The safety indicators of semi-finished poultry meat products must correspond to those given in table. 4.4 (§ 4.2). Microbiological indicators for semi-finished poultry meat products are given in table. 8.7.

§8.3. Commodity characteristics of semi-finished products in the test 197

Table 8.7. Microbiological parameters of poultry meat


Semi-finished products are prepared from poultry: whole carcasses prepared for heat treatment, portioned, small-piece and chopped.

Carcass prepared for heat treatment.

To ensure that the carcasses are evenly heated during cooking and easier to portion when frying, they are shaped (dressed).

There are several traditional ways molding carcasses (“in a pocket”, “in one thread” and “in two threads”).

Currently, along with these methods, molding is used using a special elastic mesh or tying the carcass with threads or twine.

To tuck into a pocket, skin cuts are made on both sides of the carcass (“pockets”) and the ends of the legs are inserted into these slits.
The neck opening is covered with skin from the neck, the wings are tucked towards the back so that they hold the skin of the neck.

Threading “in one thread”
- the carcass is placed on its back, held with the left hand, and with the right hand the legs are pierced with a chef's needle and thread, then the needle and thread are moved under the carcass to its original position and a second puncture is made, passing the needle under the end of the sirloin protrusion, the legs are pressed to the carcass and the ends of the thread are tied knot on the back.
Poultry and game are threaded into one thread for frying.

Refilling “in two threads”
- the carcass is placed on its back, a thread is passed through the leg at the bend, threaded further through the carcass and the second leg, then the carcass is turned on its side, a needle with the same thread is passed through the wings and the skin from the neck, wrapped over the back; the ends of the first thread (one remaining at the ham, and the second at the wing) are tied.
The carcass is placed on its back, they take a second thread, pass it through the carcass under the back near the pelvis, press it with this thread (loop), pass it back through the carcass, and tie the ends of the thread.
This is how they season chickens, chicks, turkeys, and large game.

When molding without a needle (by tying)
take threads 0.5-0.6 m long.
The carcass is placed on the back, a loop is tied on the sternum, to do this, the middle of the thread is hooked to the tip of the sternum, then the ends of the loop are passed through the middle of the wing bone, the threads are brought under the back, and the carcass is encircled crosswise.
After this, threads are placed on the ends of each leg, pulled together, pressing it closer to the carcass, and tied into a knot.
This method is used to season hens and chickens.

Large game carcasses are shaped in the same way as poultry.

Small game is tucked into the muff (leg into leg) or with the beak.

“In the muff”
quails are seasoned: a cut is made on the leg between the flesh and the tendon and the second leg is inserted into this cut.

“Beak”
they feed game with a long and sharp beak (woodcock, snipe, great snipe).
To do this, use the blunt side of a knife or a hoe to crush the bones of the legs in the legs, after which they are intertwined and pressed to the chest part (to the end of the keel bone), the head and neck are applied to the carcass on the right side, a puncture is made with a needle in the leg, the beak is passed through the puncture, fastening the intertwined legs.

If the game arrived skinny, then to give the meat juiciness and tenderness after seasoning, the fillet of large game (grouse, wood grouse, pheasants) is stuffed with chilled bacon, cut into small pieces.

In small game
the sirloin is wrapped in thin layers of bacon and tied with twine.


Portioned semi-finished products.

Semi-finished products are prepared from poultry, game and rabbit: natural cutlets; breaded cutlets; poultry, game, rabbit in the capital; natural stuffed cutlets.
To prepare these semi-finished products, fillets of chickens, turkeys, and less often pheasants, hazel grouse, black grouse and partridges are used. In rabbits, the pulp of the hind legs or dorsal part is used.
To separate the fillet, the bird is placed on a cutting board with its back down, the skin is trimmed at the flanks and the legs are bent, turning them inside out at the joints; remove the skin from the loin; The flesh is trimmed along the protrusion of the breast bone; cut the fork bone (collarbone) and cut off first one fillet with the shoulder (wing) bone, and then the other.
The removed fillet consists of two layers of muscles: the outer (large fillet) and the inner (small fillet).
The longitudinal tendon is pulled from the small fillet, and the remainder of the clavicle is pulled from the large fillet.
The humerus bone is cleaned of pulp and tendons and shortened to 3-4 cm, cutting off the thickened part. Next, the surface film is cut off from a large fillet, and one or two small oblique cuts are made along its inner side, the fillet is unfolded so that the tendon running inside it is exposed, which is cut in two or three places, after which the fillet is shaped.

Natural cutlets.

A small fillet is inserted into the cut of a large fillet, the edges of the large fillet are tucked towards the middle, covering the small fillet, and given an oval shape.

Breaded cutlets.

Unlike natural ones, these semi-finished products are moistened in lezone and breaded in white breading.

Bird, game, rabbit in the capital.

The shoulder bone is cut off from a large fillet.
The prepared fillet is lightly beaten, dipped in lezon, and breaded in white bread, cut into strips. In rabbits, the pulp of the hind legs or dorsal part is used.

Chicken Kiev (stuffed).

The prepared large chicken fillet (with bone) is cut lengthwise from the inside, the flesh is unfolded and lightly beaten to a thickness of 2.5-3 mm; the tendons are slightly cut and, if ruptures form, thinly chopped pieces of fillet are placed on them; A pear-shaped piece of butter is placed in the middle of the beaten fillet.
Place a small fillet on the minced meat and wrap the edges of the large fillet so as to completely cover the minced meat. The cutlets are dipped in lezone, breaded in white breading, again moistened in lezone and again breaded in white breading.
Before frying, store in the refrigerator to allow the oil to solidify. Oil for stuffing can be mixed with chopped herbs or raw egg yolks.

Cutlets stuffed with milk sauce and mushrooms.

They use fillets of chicken, pheasant, hazel grouse, gray partridge, capercaillie or pulp removed from rabbit legs.
For minced meat, add chopped boiled mushrooms (white or champignons) to a thick milk sauce. The bone is cut off from a large, cleaned fillet.
Place minced meat in the middle of the fillet, cover with a small fillet, insert a trimmed bone from the thin side of a large fillet under the small fillet (for game fillet, insert a leg bone).
Then the edges of the large fillet are folded, pear-shaped, and double-breaded in white breading. Cutlets can be stuffed with liver pate.

Small-piece semi-finished products.
Semi-finished products for stews are chopped from poultry, game, rabbit or processed offal into pieces weighing 40-50 g.
Pieces of the same mass are chopped from the dorsal part of the rabbit to prepare a semi-finished product - rabbit on a spit.

Chopped semi-finished products.

For semi-finished products from chopped poultry, cutlet and dumpling masses are prepared.

Cutlet mass.
For the cutlet mass, chickens, broiler chickens, turkeys, hazel grouse, black grouse, partridges, wood grouse, pheasants, and rabbits are used.
For poultry, the entire flesh of the carcass is used, and for game (except for pheasants and partridges), only the fillet is used.
The pulp is separated from the bones and skin (the pulp can also be used together with the skin), passed through a meat grinder along with the internal fat.
The chopped meat is combined with wheat bread without crusts soaked in water or milk, salt and pepper are added, mixed well, passed through a meat grinder and beaten.

Internal fat can be replaced with butter or margarine.
Cutlets, meatballs, zrazy, meatballs, etc. are prepared from the cutlet mass.
The cutlets are breaded in breadcrumbs, white breading or white bread cut into cubes (Pozharsky cutlets).

The meatballs are usually not breaded, as they are often poached.

Stuffed meatballs are stuffed with finely chopped boiled champignons.
The semi-finished product is given a round shape and breaded in breadcrumbs.
Zrazy is prepared from the pulp (without skin) of chickens and broiler chickens.
For minced meat, peeled carrots and zucchini are finely chopped, simmered with butter, poured with eggs mixed with milk, and brought to readiness.
The omelette mixture is cut into slices.
The semi-finished product is shaped like minced beef zrazy, but is not breaded, as it is steamed or poached.

Dumpling mass.

Poultry pulp or game fillet is passed through a meat grinder two or three times with grid holes 2.5-3 mm in diameter, white bread soaked in milk or cream is added and passed through the meat grinder again. Then add egg whites and beat thoroughly, gradually adding milk or cream.
The mass should be fluffy and light. Add salt before finishing cooking.
The mass is used for stuffing game fillet cutlets, preparing dumplings as a side dish for clear soups, and also for preparing steamed cutlets.

Use of food waste
Poultry food waste includes: heads, legs, necks, wings, scallops, hearts, livers, stomachs. Some of them are characterized by high nutritional value.
Thus, the stomach, heart, and liver contain 19-26% proteins. Proteins are absorbed internal organs almost the same as meat proteins.
There are significantly more vitamins (A, PP, group B) in these products than in meat.
The heads and legs are scalded or singed. After this, the beak, feathers and eyes are removed from the heads, and the skin is removed from the legs and the claws are cut off.
The necks and wings are singed, cleaned of stumps and washed.
The scallops are scalded, the film is removed from them, rubbed with salt, and washed.
After cutting the gallbladder, the liver is thoroughly washed.
The heart is freed from the pericardial sac and blood clots and washed.
The stomachs are cut to the middle, turned inside out, the contents are removed, the cuticle is peeled off, and washed.
