Effectiveness of developing a model to handle the issue of preservatives usage in meat-processing plants

Abstract

Ramathibodi Poison Center Report Have a child with a condition Methemoglobin Simultaneously in many provinces from eating sausages that contain high amounts of nitrates - nitrites. Of these, there are 2 children from Phetchaburi Province. The Phetchaburi Provincial Public Health Office is therefore interested in solving the problem of the use of preservatives in such products. This study is research and development using a qualitative research process to manage. Use a research cycle development process (PAOR) until a successful solution is achieved. The objectives of this study were to study the situation of preservatives usage in processed meat food production places and to study the results of a participatory development of a model to solve the problem of preservatives usage in processed meat products in Phetchaburi Province. Samples of processed meat products were randomly collected from 12 production sites in Phetchaburi Province to detect preservatives.

Data were used for descriptive analysis. to be used as input data in organizing a brainstorming forum By using focus group format to propose measures/solutions to solve the problem of using preservatives in processed meat products. and put into practice Processed meat products were then randomly taken to detect preservatives after the intervention. Comparison of the results before and after the intervention with the problem solving model. The results of the study revealed that many measures Participate in encouraging manufacturers produce more secure products The results of the detection of preservatives in samples of processed meat products. Passing the standard criteria increased from 16.67 percent to 91.67 percent after the intervention with the problem solving model. which increased statistically significantly (P=0.005).
