Disclosed is a method of treating a meat product, wherein the method including the steps of: (a) injecting a treatment mixture into an interior volume of a meat product at an injection location, the treatment mixture including carbon monoxide and an injection fluid and being injected into the volume of the meat product through an injection conduit inserted into the volume of the meat product, wherein the meat product comprises a cut of meat; and (b) injecting either: (i) a pre-treatment fluid into the volume of the meat product prior to injecting the treatment mixture, the pre-treatment fluid including a pH modifying material (such as an ammonium hydroxide solution) and being injected into the volume of the meat product through the injection conduit or an additional injection conduit inserted into the volume of the meat product; or (ii) a post-treatment fluid into the volume of the meat product after injecting the treatment mixture, the post-treatment fluid including a pH modifying material (such as an ammonium hydroxide solution) and being injected into the volume of the meat product through the injection conduit or an additional injection conduit inserted into the volume of the meat product; or (iii) a pH modifying material into the volume of the meat product simultaneously with injecting the carbon monoxide, the pH modifying material comprising an ammonia-based pH increasing material and being injected into the volume of the meat product through the injection conduit or an additional injection conduit inserted into the volume of the meat product. |
