The study results of the salt curing mixture, including combination with yeast extract, affecting the activity of the antioxidant system of the main types of raw meat – pork and beef, are presented. The objects of the study were beef of the first grade and half-fat pork meat, stored frozen for 3 months. Raw meat was thawed to the t of -1-+1 deg. C, minced and mixed with 3 % of sodium chloride. In its prototypes sodium chloride in amount of 30% was replaced by the compound KCl + CaCl2 at the ratio of 1:1. In order to enhance the effect of antioxidant in the test sample yeast extract has then been added in the amount of 2% to the amount of raw materials. The prepared samples were kept in salting at the t of 0-4 deg. C for 48 hours with sampling after 24 hours. Analysis of the results showed that beef is characterized by a more balanced ratio of active antioxidant complex. Peroxidase and catalase activity of beef is higher than that of corresponding enzymes in pork – by 60%. Reduction in traditional curing mixture of sodium chloride content by 30% contributes to the stabilization of antioxidant activity of the studied enzymes, which is reduced with respect to the initial values of 20.4% and 2.5% after 2 days of ripening in salting medium, whereas the use of sodium chloride is up to 21.5% and 4.1%, respectively. Combining of the curing mixture with a reduced content of sodium chloride and yeast extract contributes to further stabilization of the antioxidant system and reducing the intensity of lipids and processes of meat pigments oxidation.
