Optimization of the processing conditions for the production of cooked pork sausage as a ready to serve product

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study was to determine the best processing conditions for producing of dried lean pork as a ready-to-serve product without using large-scale machines. Lean pork sausage was produced using 1.27% sodium chloride, 0.075% sodium polyphosphate, 0.06% sodium ascorbate, 0.075% sodium pyrophosphate, 0.009% sodium nitrite, 0.009% dextrin, 0.11% sodium glutamate and 1.4% spice mixture. The most appropriate slice thickness for drying was examined by slicing the sausage at a 0.5, 1 and 2 cm thickness. The drying temperatures were determined by drying the sausage slices at 35, 48 and 68 ℃. The total drying period was for 12 hr. In order to examine the ability of this process to sterilize the pork, the raw meat materials were inoculated with Escherichia coli (E. coli). The optimal conditions for producing lean pork sausages were a 2 cm slice thickness and drying temperature of 68 ℃ for 12 hr. The moisture content, water activity, color, hardness and pH were measured in the dried product. The product had a moisture content of 47.5% and a water activity of 0.93. There was a 47.7% percentage reduction in moisture. The dried product tested negative for E. coli even though the raw meat materials been inoculated with E. coli.
