Bard prepd. by moulding fat and alginate mixt. - contg. calcium sulphate, used for encircling meat and chicken when roasting

摘要

Bard is prepd. by (a) grinding and then mixing fat with an alginate, and (b) adding CaSO4 to the homogeneous mixing and moulding the mixt. Pref. a chelating agent for Ca ions is added simultaneously with the alginate, pref. being pyrophosphoric acid. Amts. added are 0.5-5 wt.% each of the alginate and CaSO4. Collagen is pref. added to the fat during grinding, pref. being bacon rind in amt. of up to 10 wt.% of the whole mixt. For partly encircling meat or fowls for roating. Addition of an alginate results in mouldable gel giving a reconstituted bard which is not thermoreversible.
