Abstract

6 de-boned, chilled pork loins were processed to bacon using either a dry cure or a pickle cure. Curing mixture containing salt, sugar, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite and monosodium glutamate was either rubbed into the meat for the dry cure, or the meat was dipped into a solution of the mix for the pickle cure. Loins were cured at 3.3-4.4 degree C for 2 wk, desalted for 1 h and then smoked at 45 degree C for 16 h and aged at 58 degree C for 8 h. Samples were analysed for moisture, salt and nitrite values. Moisture content was higher in pickle cure (46.51%) than in dry cure bacon (39.04%), while salt content in dry cure bacon (5.2%) was higher than in pickle cure (4.5%).
