Abstract:
HAMS IN THE 16 TO 18 POUND WEIGHT RANGE WERE PUMPED WITH PICKLE TO 10 OF THE GREEN HAM WEIGHT. After pumping, the hams were cured for one week in cover pickle. A basic cure containing only salt and nitrite was used for pumping and cover pickle. Either nitrate, phosphate, dextrose or ascorbate were added separately to the pumping pickle in order to determine the influence to each component on the quality of radiated ham. Author
