This study investigated the relationship of carcass characteristics such as hot carcass weight and back fat thickness (BFT) and the pH of s (SC) with the cooking loss (CL) of pork shoulder butt and the CL and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) of belly. BFT was correlated with the CLs of the butt slices ( = -0.30) and the belly slices ( = -0.27 to -0.32). The pH of the SC muscle showed a correlation with the CLs of the butt slices ( = -0.45) and the belly slices of the 6th and 11th thoracic vertebrae ( = -0.28 to -0.33). Additionally, the correlations ( = 0.62 to 0.77) were observed in the CLs among the belly slices. However, the WBSF of the belly slices did not show correlations with others. Therefore, the pH of the SC muscle as well as BFT can be used to obtain information on the CL of shoulder butts and bellies in carcasses.

This study investigates quality changes occurred in sliced pork belly with different fat content during refrigerated storage, and the potential of spectral imaging technology in predicting quality properties. Pork bellies with different fat levels (low 'LF', medium 'MF' and high 'HF') were selected from slaughtering houses and directly transferred to the laboratory. The sliced bellies were packed in modified atmosphere packages with high oxygen levels (80 %) and the essential visual and olfactory characteristics, microbiological load, pH, lipid oxidation and colour values were assessed throughout 20 days of refrigerated storage.

Article Synopsis
- * Significant differences were found in HCW between barrows and gilts, but no major variations in fat content were noted in different cuts of pork belly slices, except for the area around the 10 thoracic vertebra being the fattiest.
- * While HCW and BFT were closely linked to the overall fat content of whole pork bellies, they did not effectively indicate the fat content in the slices, suggesting a need for further research on better indicators for evaluating pork belly fatness
Quality Variation of Pork Bellies by Cutting Manner and Quality Grade.

In the meat industry, the quality grading system is commonly applied to classify carcasses based on quality and value. Presently, to facilitate consumer convenience, pork bellies are prepared into slices and retailed in supermarkets and butchers. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of quality grade (QG) and retail cutting manner on the quality properties of pork bellies.

Pork belly is a meat cut valued for its rich flavour and texture, attributed to its high fat content, which also makes it susceptible to oxidation. Therefore, meat producers and processors must carefully select packaging options to maximise shelf life while meeting consumer preferences. This study aimed to develop customised packaging strategies for sliced pork belly with varying fat content to extend shelf life while minimizing environmental impact.
