Storing and transporting meat products after marinating and before packaging causes a loss of marinade from the meat product. This loss of marinade is reduced by surrounding the marinated meat product in excess marinade during storage and by containing the marinated meat product in an enclosed conduit, surrounded by excess marinade, and pressurizing the marinade during transportation of the marinated meat product. The apparatus for reducing the loss of marinade from a marinated meat product includes an enclosed conduit (160) connecting a remote marinating site (100) and a packaging site (200), a hopper (140) for introducing a marinated meat product and excess marinade as a mixture into the conduit at the remote marinating site, a pump (150) for pumping the mixture through the conduit from the remote marinating site to the packaging site without exposing the mixture to the atmosphere, and a processor (170) for separating the marinated food product from the excess marinade at the packaging site, and a packager (190) for packaging the marinated food product at the packaging site promptly after separating the marinated meat product form the excess marinade. |
