                         (a)       adding water to a mass of comminuted               
                                   meat, the comminuted meat being made up            
                                   at least partially of small comminuted             
                                   meat pieces;                                       
                        (b)       placing ammonia gas in contact with the            
                                   meat composition; and                              
                    (c)       applying mechanical action to the meat                  
                         composition after placing ammonia gas in                     
                         contact with the meat composition and                        
                         after adding water to the meat                               
                         composition to produce a moisture                            
                         enhanced meat composition having the                         
                         added water and an ammonium hydroxide                        
                         solution distributed throughout the                          
                         moisture enhanced composition.                               
               13.   A method of producing a pH enhanced comminuted                   
                    meat composition, the method including the steps                  
                    of:                                                               
                         (a)       adding ammonium hydroxide solution to a            
                                   mass of comminuted meat, the comminuted            
                                   meat being made up at least partially of           
                                   small comminuted meat pieces; and                  
                         (b)       applying mechanical action to the                  
                                   comminuted meat after adding the                   
                                   ammonium hydroxide solution to                     
                                   distribute the ammonium hydroxide                  
                                   solution throughout the mass of                    
                                   comminuted meat.                                   
               14.   A meat product produced by:                                      
                    (a)            increasing the moisture content of a               
                                   mass of comminuted meat composition to             
                                   produce a moisture enhanced meat                   
                                   composition, the comminuted meat being             
                                   made up at least partially of small                
                                   comminuted meat pieces and the moisture            
                                   enhanced meat composition having the               
                                          3
