Effect of dietary α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on the shelf-life stability of reduced nitrite cooked ham products

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Colour stability (Hunter 'a' values) and lipid oxidation (TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) values) of overwrapped cooked ham slices and cooked ham patties were measured at 2-day intervals for 10 days. Ham products were manufactured from α-tocopheryl acetate supplemented and control M. gluteobiceps which were halved and cured with either 25 or 100 mg nitrite (kg meat) 1. Vitamin E supplementation had a beneficial effect on reduced nitrite hams in terms of colour and oxidative stability.
