Simultaneous brine thawing/salting process was applied as an alternative to traditional pile salting process using 51 frozen Iberian hams. The effect of this type of salting process on endogenous enzyme activity and sensory quality of Iberian dry-cured hams was analysed. The frozen hams were simultaneously thawed and salted with saturated brine, with and without vacuum pulses, and were compared...

The paper presents the results of experimental data obtained in brine, the coefficients of diffusion, the mathematical model and ambassador calculated optimal values of fish salting uniform layer of a certain thickness in brine. Studied modes production canned food smoked fish with a low-temperature heat treatment of semi-finished product. Developed are optimal modes for infrared smoke generators.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an economically and nutritionally important cultured fish species (Dondero et al. 2004). About 40–50% of farm-reared Atlantic salmon reaches the consumer as traditional cold-smoked gourmet food products (Birkeland and Bjerkeng 2005); indeed, a number of countries have long traditions of producing and consuming smoked food products (Birkeland and Skara 2008). The...

In southern China, about 20 different fish, such as red snapper, threadfin, Spanish mackerel, croaker, Japanese mackerel, are used to prepare salted fish (Armstrong & Eng, 1983; Poirier et al., 1987). Procedures for preparation of salted fish have been described in detail previously (IARC, 1993). Briefly, salted fish are prepared by salting, brining, dry-salting, pickle curing, or a combination...

Lonza is a traditional Italian meat product made from whole pork muscles, which is typically cured by dry salting. In this work, we study the effects of vacuum brine impregnation (VBI) as an alternative salting method on the survival of Enterobacteriaceae, in presence and in absence of nitrites. In comparison with the traditional brining process, VBI contributed to reducing the Enterobacteriace...

In order to illuminate the forming process of salted egg, the effects of the brine solution with different salt concentrations on the physicochemical properties, textural properties, and microstructures of duck eggs were evaluated using conventional physicochemical property determination methods. The results showed that the moisture contents of both the raw and cooked egg whites and egg yolks, ...

The aim of the study was to compare the effects of two different salting procedures on salt uptake, protein and moisture content, water activity (aw) weight yield, colour and quality of herring fillets. One group of herring fillets was brined with 20% brine solution for one day before dry salting while another group was dry salted only. After 27 days of salting, the fillets were desalted. Sampl...

Twenty six 3.8 kg blocks were made on each of 3 different days. A block was analyzed prior to brine salting. Blocks (5) were placed into each of 5 different saturated brines at 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24◦C. One block was removed from each brine tank after 1, 4, 8, 16, and 24 d, weighed, sampled, and analyzed for salt and moisture. Weight loss (net of moisture loss and salt uptake), salt uptake, and...

The European Food Safety Authority stated that many traditional marinating and cold smoking methods are not sufficient to kill A. simplex and asked to evaluate alternative treatments for killing viable parasites in fishery. Baccalà is a well-liked traditional product. The aim of study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the salting process on the inactivation of nematodes of the genus Anisakis...
