What is chicken MDM?
Chicken MDM is chicken meat that has been mechanically separated from the bones using a separator machine. It tends to have a high protein and low-fat content, making it popular for health-conscious end consumers.
Quick-frozen chicken MDM meat has a lifespan of 12 months if stored in vacuum-sealed bags, and can be used at any time.
How is chicken MDM made?
Chicken meat still attached to the bone is fed into a separator machine, which mechanically separates the meat from unwanted bone, using rotary separation. Chicken carcass pieces are fed into the machine, which feeds the chicken through a rotary separation mechanism and sieve, expelling bone residue and yielding usable ground chicken meat.
The ProMAX 6000 is part of the POSS protein maximiser series, with an input capacity of up to 5,000kg per hour and will produce yields up to 95% of the available infeed product.
Chicken MDM uses and recipes
With low cost and high yield, chicken MDM meat can be used widely. From snacks to sausages, pasta sauces, hot dogs, patties and burgers, chicken MDM meat can be made to predetermined texture settings to suit the end application.
With applications including halal chicken products, ready meals and convenience foods, the uses for chicken MDM are endless. This versatile chicken meat product can be used in dumplings, meatloaf, SPAM or as a high-protein filler for snack items, pasties or pies.
Is MDM chicken meat suitable for human consumption?
MDM chicken meat is safe and suitable for human consumption, and it is a desirable high-protein and affordable meat product. Poultry processors can combine separation with X-ray inspection to ensure the highest quality products, adhering to all food safety requirements.
Poultry MDM for pet foods
Chicken MDM can also be used in pet food manufacturing, with raw input material selected to produce chicken MDM meat with specific fat, protein, ash and calcium content. Premium chicken MDM in particular can be used to effectively reduce calcium levels in pet food.
