Abstract:

The orthogonal test was design to study the effect of different packaging atmosphere conditions and natural antioxidants on lipid oxidation of dry-cured ham cuts. The result was shown that POV of vacuum-packed hams is significantly ower than that of modified atmosphere packed hams (p<0.01). Combination of rosemary with vitamin E (VE) shows the best effect of restraining lipid oxidation (p<0.01). The antioxidants containing tea polyphenols have good effect of keeping a* value of ham muscle highly (p<0.05). Acid value (AV) is positively correlated with temperature. AV, POV and TBARs values rise and a* value drops continually during storage (p<0.01). POV of all treatments exceeds the national value limit (0.25 g/100 g) after 3 months. The result of optimizing orthogonal test is as following: dry-cured ham cuts sprayed with 0.05% romemary extract and 0.05% VE, packaging with vacuum system, stored at 5 ℃for 2 months. It is well consistent with the result of sensory evaluation.

Key words: dry-cured ham, packaging, natural antioxidants, lipid oxidation
