Abstract
Bulk properties of strange quark matter (SQM) are investigated within the S U(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. In the chiral limit the model behaves very s imilarly to the MIT bag model which is often used to describe SQM. However, when we introduce realistic current quark masses, the strange quark become s strongly disfavored, because of its large dynamical mass. We conclude tha t SQM is not absolutely stable.
