Restructured chops from prerigor (P) and conventionally boned (C) pork were unsalted (U) or salted (S) with 2.0% sodium chloride (NaCl) and 0.25% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP). After storage for 5, 14 and 42 d, samples were subjectively evaluated for amount of discoloration, consumer desirability, juiciness, tenderness and flavor. Objective measurements included Hunter color difference meter readings and TBA values. Generally, objective and subjective appearance traits and flavor deteriorated (P<0.05) with increased storage time. No consistent differences (P>0.05) in subjective and objective appearance traits and flavor were found between P and C samples. Objective and subjective evaluations revealed that salted P and C chops were generally inferior (P<0.05) in appearance but not different (P>0.05) from unsalted P and C samples in flavor. No differences (P>0.05) in tenderness and juiciness existed between P and C samples, whereas salted (P and C) chops were generally more (P<0.05) tender and juicy than unsalted counterparts. Samples with higher juiciness scores usually had superior tenderness scores. No consistent differences (P>0.05) were found between chops manufactured from prerigor pork and conventionally boned counterparts.

Use of extenders in meat products is not only health promoting but can also increase the economic worth of the products. Extension of the meat product is generally associated with poor binding and texture. Thus, the present study was envisaged to solve this problem by the incorporation of gum tragacanth (GT) as bind enhancing agent, used at three different levels viz.

Consumers have become very conscious about their nutrition and well being due to changes in their socio-economic lifestyle and rapid urbanization. Therefore, development of technology for production of low cost and functional meat products is urgently required. One such approach is innovative restructuring technology in which binding of meat pieces still remains the main challenge and extension of product is generally associated with poor binding and texture.

Previous research has investigated the effect of genetic line and dietary CP on gilt growth and carcass composition. The aim of this research was to characterize lean tissue composition, color, tenderness, and water-holding capacity as affected by protein level and genetic lines. Thirty-six Gene Pool pigs, a population with low lean growth potential, and 36 Hampshire pigs, a population with a high lean growth potential, had ad libitum access to diets consisting of 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, or 25% CP.

The survival of Listeria monocytogenes in cooked, chopped hams stored at 5 degrees C for 5 weeks was studied. Slices of chopped ham (25 g) were inoculated with a three-strain mixture of L. monocytogenes (LM 101M, LM 103M, and Scott A) at levels of < or = 350 cfu/25 g and packaged in Stomacher bags.

The effects of incorporation of 12% high-oleic sunflower (HOSO; >85% in oleic acid) into a swine diet on properties of uncured, processed pork products were determined. Restructured pork chops (with an initial total-fat level of <5%) and ground pork patties (with targeted initial total-fat levels of 15% and 30%) processed from animals fed the HOSO diet, when compared to the corresponding products from animals fed the control diet without HOSO, were 28% and 38%, respectively, lower (0·72 and 0·62 fold, respectively) in the proportion of total saturated fatty acids; 25% higher (1·25 fold) in the proportion of total monounsaturated fatty acids for both products; and 73% and 105%, respectively, higher in the ratio of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids (M S ). The M S ratio differences were not significantly changed by cooking.
