Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for defatting meat, comprising adjusting the temperature of raw meat material up to its corresponding species body temperature in the substantial absence of added reagents, and feeding said temperature adjusted raw material to a decanter centrifuge maintained under suitable conditions to form a meat layer, an intermediate boundary layer containing particles of fat tissue, meat and moisture, and a fat layer within the centrifuge. Liquid is metered into the temperature adjusted raw material entering the centrifuge in an amount sufficient to separate the meat layer form the other layers. Subsequently, a defatted meat is recovered.
