Dried meat is a food with medium moisture content. In order to achieve the purpose of long-term preservation, traditional methods often use long-term drying to control the moisture content of the product at about 16% (water activity Aw<0.7), but this will inevitably cause the product to become dry and hard. The tenderness is poor, and the color is gray. Adding glycerin as a humectant can increase the water content under the condition of low water activity, thereby improving the tenderness. Adding 3% food grade glycerin can make the product water activity Aw<0.7, while the water content is controlled at 20%, the product tissue is soft, and the tenderness is improved.

During processing, after diluting the glycerin with pure grain wine above 50 degrees, evenly spray it on the meat or the cut meat, knead or stir it fully. It can lock water, moisturize, achieve weight gain, extend shelf life, and improve product taste, color and fragrance. Recommended adding amount 1.2-3%
