Marinated meat is probably the first ‘processed’ food ever. Salted beef and cured hams have been on the menu for centuries. Today’s industrial processes for marinating meat however, are anything but old fashioned. Injecting poultry, meat or fish offers more than just increased shelf life, it helps enhance flavor, color, juiciness and bite and moreover it is essential for keeping the food processor’s yield on par.
Key to achieving these benefits revolves almost entirely around two core facets: accurate brine distribution and the subsequent retention of that brine.
