I had made a batch of beef a while back and sent a guy a pack of it...he said he had it 3 days in a bag on the counter and it started to mold. Just the white stuff.. could have wiped it with a vinegar wet paper towel, but he’s clueless and tossed it. Sigh.
Well..anyway..this got me to thinking. Scary eh?
Did a little poking around... I had in the past sometimes used sodium benzoate, a pretty popular preservative/anti-fungal..as well as an AWESOME fuel in a whistle rocket composition..;{). But since I no longer participate in..ahem..that hobby.. looked into potassium sorbate and good old ascorbic acid/Vit C. The ascorbic is a potent anti-oxidant/rancidity preventer...
Gonna use my jerky product on some beef and do a little testing. Might even change my formula to include some of these products.
I’ll update when data become available.
