It increases the WHC of meat and lowers processing shrinkage, increasing the yield. (0.5% in finished product)
This is a strong reducing compound that is beneficial in improving the color stability of cured products especially when exposed to retail display
Ascorbic acid/ erythorbic acid
This retards the development of nitrosamines which is carcinogenic
Ascorbic acid/ erythorbic acid
What is the inclusion rate of the Ascorbic acid/ erythorbic acid?
0.5 g/kg meat
T/F: Excessive ascorbates may lead to premature conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide which may escape into the air as gas and lower the nitric level of brine, resulting in undercured meat
Is MSG can be considered natural?
Yes
Glutamate is an amino acid
True
What is the role of Monosodium glutamate in meat?
Flavor enhancer, brings out the unique flavor of the meaty taste in a dish
What is the base component of MSG?
Glutamate
This derived from the natural fermentation process of sugarcane, sugar beets, cassava, molasses, corn sugar that is refined and fermented similar to beer, wine, soy sauce
MSG
These usually consist of buds, flowers, seeds, leaves, bark, or other plant parts that have been dried and can be used in their original form or powder form.
Done to remove areas with blood clots, bruises, dark patches, and excessive fats. Microbial growth usually sets at these portions hence must be right away____
Trimming
After trimming, this follows to reduce microbial load. salt solution of about 2 % concentration is an alternative disinfectant for the production of organic meat products.
Washing
This lowers the temperature of the meat to prevent the growth of microorganisms and to firm up the mat before slicing or grinding.
Chilling
The last step in preparing the meat. the cut should be made across the meat grain to facilitate penetration of ingredients and chewing, otherwise, it will result in a ropy meat texture.
Slicing/Grinding
The meat should be sliced into about 2 inch cube
Slicing
the plate to be used should not be smaller than 1/4 to prevent or minimize fat melting during the cooking process.
Grinding
What re the factors affecting the curing process?
ingredients ACV, curing period and temp, meat condition, type, size, pH, type and fiber direction, amount of fat covering, manner of ingredients application
These are meat products that are cured, smoked, and cooked. Usually available as ready to eat product which may be intact meat, meat slices or ground meat
Ham
SAMPLE CURING PERIOD: Dry rub and immersion
5-7 days
SAMPLE CURING PERIOD: injection
1-3 days
SAMPLE CURING PERIOD: injection and tumbling
1 day
T/F: After curing the meat shall wash thoroughly, because salt might recrystalize
True
Tradition Method of curing Ham
First is the selection of formula, preparation of meat and ingredients, Application of ingedients
STEPS IN HAM/BACON IN CURING
okay
Ham sample dry curing formula:
Curing period: 5-7 day / PC of meat
1 degree salinity
0.263% salt
This is a ham that has a higher salt concentration; drying for 15-18 days (100-110 F); 14% MC; less than or equal to 5 kg; 2.5-3.0 optimum weight
Chinese style ham
Ham cooking ingredients:
Pineapple juice, brown sugar, water, onion, laurel leaves, black pepper, MSG (8)
Belly material from 100-130 kg live hogs; has 50, 46, and 4% fat, lean and skin; not too thin nor too fat
bacon making
Sample curing formulation:
Salt= 15 sugar 25 curing salt =5 ascorbic acid= 0.5
the objective of processing chicken and duck ham
enhance the organoleptic properties, and lengthen the shelf life
Product native in the Philippines, very sweet taste, mildly spiced, made from port or chicken, red in color
tocino
How was tocino developed?
Preserving as a means of preserving unsold meat at the end of the day;
This is traditionally prepared by salting meat and drying it under the direct heat of the sun on top of a wooden stove
Tapa
she claimed that she was the first to use the term tapsilog
