Studies investigating the effect of scald time on pork quality are confounded with time of dehairing. To understand better pork quality development and two-toning in hams, twenty-four carcasses were assigned to an 8- or 16-min dwell time prior to the dehairing, with or without scalding (n = 6 per trt). Semimembranosus (SM) muscles were collected following dehairing and at 24 h postmortem. Protracted time to dehair improved ultimate pH (pH; P < 0.005) and reduced (P < 0.05) color variation. One hundred forty-two carcasses were then subjected to protracted (control, 10-min) dwell times (15-min, or 20-min) in an industrial setting. Lightness was improved with 15-min dwell times compared to control, however 20-min dwell decreased the pH (P < 0.001), increased lightness (P < 0.05), and percent purge (P < 0.001) in the SM. Also, lightness of the longissimus muscle (LM) increased (P < 0.001) with dwell time. These data show time to dehairing impacts pork quality development and suggest dehairing may be critical to quality development in a muscle-dependent manner.
研究烫煮时间对猪肉品质的影响时,需要考虑褪毛时间的影响。为了更好地了解火腿的猪肉品质发展和双色现象,将 24 个胴体分配到 8 分钟或 16 分钟的烫煮前停留时间,有或没有烫煮(每组 6 个)。褪毛后收集半膜肌(SM)肌肉,并在死后 24 小时进行收集。延长褪毛时间可提高最终 pH 值(pH;P<0.005)并减少(P<0.05)颜色变化。然后,将 142 个胴体在工业环境中延长(对照,10 分钟)停留时间(15 分钟或 20 分钟)。与对照相比,15 分钟的停留时间可提高亮度,但 20 分钟的停留时间会降低 pH 值(P<0.001),增加亮度(P<0.05)和 SM 的渗出率(P<0.001)。此外,LM 的亮度随停留时间的增加而增加(P<0.001)。这些数据表明,褪毛时间会影响猪肉品质的发展,并且褪毛可能以肌肉依赖的方式对品质发展至关重要。
