WASHINC 'ON - Effective Sept. 17, th- : .S. Department of Agriculture >vill p- rnit meat processors to use a combination of dry substances to create a binder for restructured meat products. The rule will require the name of the binder to be included on the label next to the product’s name. Restructuring is the process of taking flaked, sectioned or chunked meat and binding the pieces to resemble intact cuts of meat. The final products take on a variety of shapes such as nuggets, roasts, loaves and steaks. The use of binders will expand marketing of restructured products because they can be sold as fresh, according to Donald L. Houston, administrator of USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Ser- HORSEPOWER UNDER FORTY Under forty horses, nobody sells more tractors than we do. One reason is simple. We give you more choices. There are sixteen compact sizes, each a different model. One of them should fit you perfectly. And once you settle on the horsepower, there are still more choices. 19H 1 ) Kubota Traitor C orporation P 0 Hox 7020 ( i mpi tn ( \ W 224 7.5% APR Financing for M-Series and 8.5% APR Financing on other models - good through Oct. 31,1986 Your Participating Kubota Dealer Invites You To Come In And See The Full Line Of Kubota Tractors & Implements USDA Permits Binders In Restructured Meet Products vice. Under current technology, restructured products are usually cooked or frozen to retain their restructured form. “We’ve reviewed analytical data indicating that the binder can be used safely to maintain the cohesiveness of raw, restructured meat products,” said Houston. “The binder also works for frozen and precooked pieces.” The binder is formed by com bining sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, lactic acid and calcium lactate. When these compounds are added to raw meat pieces, they react to form calcium alginate, the compound- that holds the pieces together. All of the substances have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The final product is allowed to NOBODY HAS MORE Pick special options like 4-wheel drive, power steering or a hydraulic shuttle transmission. Or choose a Kubota-made implement, the best match for any of our Kubota tractors. There are, however, a couple of decisions we’ve made for you. For example,Kubota’s own liquid- contain 1.0 percent sodium alginate, 0.2 percent calcium carbonate and 0.3 percent lactic acid and calcium lactate, which is consistent with the 1.5 percent of dry mixture that FDA allows in the finished product. These substances must be applied when dry, because water can cause the binding compound calcium alginate to exceed FDA’s standard. Under the rule, processors can use the dry binder as an alter native to sodium chloride and phosphate salts, which may reduce the sodium content of the restructured products, said Houston. Sodium chloride and phosphate salts are used for flavor and to aid in the binding of restructured meat products. In addition, the rule requires cooled diesel engine comes standard in every model. An advanced design, it’s built for efficient operation. So a little horsepower works like more. We’ve also chosen the color. UKUBOTII Nothing like it on earth.

For example, the name for a restructured beef roast type product may be “Beef chopped, shaped and formed, sodium alginate, lactic acid, calcium lactate and calcium carbonate added as a binder.” Totem Pole Quilt Show, Sale Set ATHENS The fourth annual Totem Pole Quilt Show and Sale will be held at the I-R Clubhouse in Athens Oct. 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show will feature quilting demonstrations, a quilters’ merchandise mall and an exhibit of over 100 quilts and coverlets, both old and new, from the Bradford County area. 1 m i ■ft The final rule responds to a petition by the Colorado State University Research Foundation in Fort Collins, Colorado, requesting the approval of a dry binding mixture for certain raw or cooked, restructured formed meat products.
