95 Nippon Shokuhin Kogyo Gakkaishi Vol. 26, No.2 (1979) (44) Studies of the Stability of 5'-Ribonucleotides in Sausage† KIYOFUMI ISHII*, SEISHI TAKAGI* and YUKIHIRO NAKAO* The influencesof processingcondition in meat products,particularly sausage, on the stability of added 5'-ribonucleotideswere studied. The resultsare as follows. (1) In case of sausage without smoking, the internaltemperature of sausage was raised so rapidly in short time that added 5'-ribonucleotideswere very stable. (2) On the contrary,in case of sausage with smoking, though the stabilityof added 5'-ribonucleotidesdepended on the smoking condition,they were fairlydecomposed even in the case of small casing such as wiener and they were moreover de- composed in the case of largercasing such as frankfurterand bologna. (3) There methods, that is, (a) coating 5'-ribonucleotideswith hydrogenated vegetableoil, (b) adding polyphosphate to sausage, and (c)adding glucono-delta-lactoneand smoking at high temperature for short time, were studiedto keep added 5'-ribonucleotidesstable in smoking process. All these methods were found to be effective. In the previous report1),the stabilityof coating with 3 times weight of hydrogenated added 5'-ribonucleotidesin dried soup mixes vegetable oil (mp 58-60℃). and in raw materials therein was studied. 2.
