Brine Calculator

In order to calculate the amount of PURASAL in your formulation, change the numbers in the table (based on the finished weight of the product) and press recalculate:


RECIPE:
  Salt   %
  Sugars   %
  Phosphate   %
  Nitrite   ppm
  Erythorbate   ppm
     %
     %
     %
     %
  PURASAL   %
  Yield (before-after cooking)   %
  Pump   %
  Brine  kg/lbs


RESULT:  
  Salt 10.00 %   50.00 kg/lbs 
  Sugars 6.00 %   30.00 kg/lbs 
  Phosphate 1.50 %   7.50 kg/lbs 
  Nitrite 0.08 %   0.39 kg/lbs 
  Erythorbate 0.22 %   1.10 kg/lbs 
  PURASAL 16.50 %    82.50 kg/lbs 
 
  TOTAL ingredients   171.49 kg/lbs 
  Water     328.51 kg/lbs 
  TOTAL   500.00 kg/lbs 
 
 


IF YOU USE 6.25% NITRITE CURE THEN ADJUST SALT TO 44.15 kg/lbs AND NITRITE CURE TO 6.24 kg/lbs


  • Pump is defined as amount of brine added per 100 kg/lbs of raw meat x 100%
  • PURASAL sodium and potassium lactates are solutions of 60% lactate in water. This calculation results in the amount of the commercial product PURASAL that needs to be added to the formulation.
  • Yield: For fresh marinated products; adjust the cooking yield to 100% PURASAL generally increases the cooking yield with 1-3%. In most pumped products this yield pays for the cost of PURASAL
