Comminuted meat products—consumption, composition, and approaches to healthier formulations

Comminuted meat products are significant contributors to consumer fat and salt intakes, which are currently above World Health Organization recommended levels. Reducing fat and salt in comminuted meat products may therefore have a significant positive effect on public health in countries with a high consumption of these meats. As an example, the processed meat intake and the fat and salt levels of various comminuted meat products in Ireland and the UK are presented. The review focuses on substitution of fat and salt (including nitrite) with ingredients that yield products with acceptable organoleptic properties and have proven human health benefits.碎肉制品（comminuted meat products）是消费者膳食脂肪与食盐摄入的重要来源，当前此类摄入水平已超出世界卫生组织（World Health Organization，WHO）的推荐标准。因此，在碎肉制品消费量较高的国家，降低这类产品中的脂肪与食盐含量，可对公共卫生产生显著的积极影响。举例而言，本数据集展示了爱尔兰与英国各类碎肉制品的加工肉类食用量及其脂肪与食盐含量水平。本综述重点围绕使用可制备出感官品质合格且经证实对人体健康有益的配料，替代碎肉制品中的脂肪、食盐（包括亚硝酸盐）展开。
