Title

The impact of storing processed meat products at near cryoscopic temperature and in a frozen state on their sensory properties

Abstract

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of the storage conditions of cured, smoked and processed meat products wrapped in an non-arrier wrapping (parchment) on their sensory properties. Meat products (ham, collar, and streaky bacon) were stored as cured semi-products at a near cryoscopic temperature (-3°C) during a period of 4 weeks and at a temperature of -18°C during 4 and 8 weeks. The experimental material was also stored, as a final product, under the above mentioned conditions. After the storage, the semi-products were smoked and scalded. The experimental products were also evaluated after an additional storing period of 7 days in a refrigerator (3°C). It was stated that storing processed meat products under the experimental conditions did not significantly deteriorate their sensory qualities.
