Abstract:
A protein fraction and an oxidation stable fat fraction are recovered from meat trimmings. The trimmings are comminuted, mixed with a food grade acid at pH 3.6 to 4.4 to form a liquid protein fraction and a solid fat fraction. The liquid fraction is mixed with a food grade alkali to precipitate the protein. A myoglobin rich fraction is recovered from the protein fraction and mixed with the precipitated protein.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for recovering a protein composition having a color of 75 to 52 L*, 25 to 10 a*, and 23 to 16 b* obtained from meat trimmings containing fat and protein, wherein the meat trimmings are obtained from beef and wherein the meat trimmings have an average fat content between about 50% and 80% by weight and a lean content between about 20% and 50% by weight, said process comprising the steps of:\n a) comminuting the meat trimmings in water, b) adding a food grade acid to the comminuted meat trimmings to obtain a pH in the range of 3.6 to 4.4 thereby to solubilize the protein, c) after addition of the food grade acid in step b), separating solid fat from solubilized protein, and d) adding a food grade alkali to the solubilized protein to increase the pH in the solubilized protein and to precipitate the solubilized protein to produce a protein composition with a color of 75 to 52 L*, 25 to 10 a*, and 23 to 16 b*, wherein the protein composition has 14% or greater by weight protein and less than 30% by weight fat.
