Definitions
- the invention comprises a device for maturing fresh meat, preferably meat on bone, in particular beef according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method for maturing fresh meat, preferably meat on bone, in particular beef, according to the preamble of Claim 9.
- Fresh meat is usually stored under vacuum today.
- the meat is previously removed from the bone.
- Juice can escape accordingly and germs can invade. Over the storage time it comes to juice, volume and Geschmaksmann. Germs that have reached the surface until they have been vacuumed can multiply undisturbed. In addition, hardly any control and corrective intervention are possible over the storage time in a vacuum.
- a common alternative method is dry maturation, which does not require vacuuming, where the meat is hung in the cold room (e.g., at about 3 to 5 ° C) for several weeks, with the refrigerator humidity being controlled to a low level.
- Disadvantages of dry maturation are a very high weight and volume loss, so-called shrinkage losses. Loss of taste goes hand in hand with the aforementioned loss of shrinkage.
- the surface usually has to be removed before further processing or before consumption, which results in further skin losses.
- the dry maturation thus results overall in high losses and shrinkage losses, in total often up to 35 percent by weight.
- GB107593A discloses meat maturing processes in which the meat is immersed in a ripening solution containing a highly concentrated or saturated brine to which a soluble nitrite (e.g., an alkali metal nitrite, i.e., sodium or potassium nitrite) is added.

- a bag insb, polyethylene bag
- the soaking step lasts 5 minutes.
- Published patent application DE543929C discloses a method for the production of frozen fish or frozen meat which is said to suffer little or no loss of chewing during thawing.
- the material to be frozen is brought to a pH which is as close as possible to the pH of.

- the weight per piece of meat is advantageously in the range of 1-50 kg, more preferably in the range of 1-30 kg, but can also go below or below these ranges. It is advantageous if, in a batch, all pieces of meat have the same weight as possible and are of similar type, so that the most appropriate maturing treatment can be used.
- the treatment tank 21 is flooded with the treatment medium from the feed tank 45 until all pieces of meat are immersed in the treatment medium.
- the temperature of the treatment medium in the treatment tank 21 is kept as stable as possible at a temperature in the range of 0 to 5 ° C.
- the treatment medium in the treatment tank 21 is replaced with a freshly prepared treatment medium. This treatment is repeated once a week for 5 to 10 more weeks (depending on the desired degree of ripeness when consumed). Thereafter, the pieces of meat are removed from the treatment room 21 and stored dry hanging for at least one day to dry in the refrigerator. Then the pieces of meat are ready for processing and / or consumption.

- the treatment medium 21 is circulated for approximately half an hour from the treatment tank through the recycling facilities (as shown in Fig. 1), with at least a volume content of two treatment tanks 21 being circulated back to the treatment tank 21 through the recycling facilities.
- the water level 23 of the treatment medium in the treatment tank 21 is conveniently held over the pieces of meat to be treated, so that the meat back remain submerged in the treatment medium.
- the reprocessing facilities used include
- a prefilter and an ultrafilter a measuring and analyzing device following the filters for the determination of the pH and the salt concentration of common salt including correction of the treatment medium by topping up the common salt and adjusting the pH value.
- the salt content of common salt (NaCl) of the treatment medium is analyzed and adjusted to the above-mentioned value.
- a UV-irradiation unit for disinfecting the treatment medium by irradiation with UV light.
- This treatment is carried out for several weeks. Every day, the treatment medium is circulated for half an hour through the reprocessing devices (as shown in Fig. 1). After several weeks, the pieces of meat are removed from the treatment room 21 and stored dry for at least one day for drying. After that, the pieces of meat are ready for processing and / or consumption,
