Abstract

Cross-bred saddle back pig loins were dry-cured or pickle-cured in a mixture of NaCl, cane sugar, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite and monosodium glutamate, smoked and aged. Samples were taken, 0, 10, 14 days from curing, after smoking and ageing, and after frying at 170 degree C for 10 min and analysed for moisture, protein, NaCl and nitrite. Moisture content of dry-cured bacon decreased by 17.62%, with a further 5.26% loss at 14 days. Pickle-cured bacon increased in moisture by 4.8% during the first phase of curing, but decreased by 17.9% on smoking and ageing. Dry-cure bacon lost only 2.3% moisture. Nitrite level was reduced to 30 ppm after desalting, smoking and ageing. At higher temp., desired colour fixation took place even at 2 low nitrite level. The moisture content of dry- and pickle-cured bacon after frying was almost the same. Dry-cure bacon had a longer shelf-life, and was organoleptically preferable to pickle-cured bacon.
