<p>Instead of using injection needles, that have to be inserted into and withdrawn from the meat with the latter substantially stationary relative to the needles, the method and apparatus of the invention use high-pressure nozzles (11) directing powerful jets of liquid (not shown) penetrating into the meat (not shown) to the requisite depth, preferably while the meat is being conveyed through a set of conduits, including a unit (7) containing said nozzles (11), preferably also a vibration-massage unit (8) and a deformation-massage unit (9), before being delivered through an outlet unit (10). With this arrangement, the disadvantages of using needles, such as risk of breakage, difficult cleaning and disinfection, are avoided, at the same time achieving the advantage of allowing the meat to pass continuously - such as conveyed by means of a pump (5) - through the injection region. <IMAGE></p> |
