Further, bellies with compositional extremes were used in bacon production and cooked in two ways to determine the impact of composition, storage days and cooking method on lipid and protein oxidation as well as heterocyclic aromatic amines. A total of 648 pigs, either barrows or gilts, from three sire breeds (Lacombe, Duroc or Iberian boar × Large White * Landrace F1 dams), were provided one of three diets (conventional, canola-based or flaxseed-based feed) ad libitum until they reached either ~120 or 140 kg slaughter weight. These variations were intentionally introduced so that the animal population could adequately represent the variation applicable to commercial production. Following slaughter, carcass sides and primal cuts were scanned under DXA equipment. For the second experiment, 198 left side bellies were assigned to belly-flop angle and subjective score measurements to evaluate pork belly softness. The third experiment employed 44 right side bellies which were randomly selected from the treatment extremes (barrows or gilts, Iberian or Lacombe, and control or flaxseed based diet). These 44 bellies were processed into bacon slices which were cooked with either microwave heating or pan frying after 2 or 28 days of refrigerated storage. Regardless of variation in animal population, DXA accurately predicted dissected/chemical fat and lean content of carcass sides and primal cuts (R2 > 0.94, P < 0.01; RSD, 0.8 to 2.9%). The multifactorial nature of pork belly softness was confirmed with a stepwise regression model that explained up to 77 and 83% of subjective belly softness score and belly-flop angle measurement, respectively, with both chemical and dimensional factors as the predictors. Employing belly-flop angle measurement in the assessment of pork belly softness would require a correction for belly length. Although microwave cooking of bacon led to a significantly higher increase in protein oxidation (P < 0.001), cooking in a frying pan resulted in higher increase in heterocyclic aromatic amines and lipid oxidation in bacon (P < 0.001). Storage days and belly composition did not affect the production of these chemical compounds (P > 0.05). The cooking treatments and storage days also had minimal effects on bacon sensory attributes. Overall, the present study established mathematical models to improve DXA estimate of pork carcasses and enhance pork belly softness assessments. The results could also inform public health recommendations regarding choice of cooking method for bacon. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Now the words of Eleanor Roosevelt resonate more with me, that “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”. Although I couldn’t see the whole staircase, I took the first step anyways, relishing the support of great mentors and friends that nature has blessed me with. First, I would like to whole-heartedly express my appreciation to my incredible supervisors; Drs. Manuel Juarez and Phyllis Shand for their unparalleled support, understanding, patience, guidance and advice during the entire period of my doctoral studies. You believed in what I can be, you gave me a chance and never doubted my ability for once! You are an integral part of this success story and your names are written with gold on the table of my heart. I would also like to express my profound gratitude to Dr. Jennifer Aalhus whose motherly predisposition was a great encouragement to me. Your great advice, support, kindness and grace have helped me this far. More than a million thanks. The unparalleled encouragement and advice of my advisory committee; Drs. Nicholas Low, Robert Tyler, Michael Nickerson and Denise Beaulieu will never be forgotten and I will forever be grateful for all your kind support. The immense contribution of my external examiner; Dr. Jason Apple is also greatly acknowledged. The generous funding and support from the Canadian Beef Grading Agency, Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency Ltd. (ALMA), University of Saskatchewan Devolved Scholarship and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) have made this dream a reality. I am eternally grateful for your support. You have not only made a man, you have made a generation! I would also want to acknowledge all the technical staff of Lacombe Research and Development Centre for their great help in the course of my research. You all hold a special place in my heart. I will never forget the incredible support of my family and friends who stood by me through the thick and thin of this program. My parents, Mr and Mrs Nathaniel and Grace Soladoye, all my siblings and my friends; Ayodele Olagunju, Jeremy Sealock, Duncan Henry, Rhona Thacker, Dapo Fawehinmi, Ayoola Jinadu, Emmanuel Leonard, Peter Maduakor, Ola Amusa, Seun Oluwajana and Omotola Olaniyan, to name a few. All your smiles and tolerances were healing balm for me especially when I felt broken and alone. Thank you so much. “Now unto HIM who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we may think or ask of HIM according to the power that dwell him us.” To this only true God, my allegiance I forever pledge! iii DEDICATION To all those who dare to dream despite their dreads iv TABLE OF CONTENTS PERMISSION TO USE ................................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................................... iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ................................................................................................................ v LIST OF TABLES .......................................................................................................................... x LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... xii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ...................................................................................................... xiii 1 INTRODUCTION..................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Objectives ................................................................................................................. 3 1.2 Hypotheses ............................................................................................................... 3 2 LITERATURE REVIEW ........................................................................................................ 5 2.1 Bacon and its recent consumption trend ................................................................... 5 2.1.1 History of bacon ....................................................................................................... 5 2.1.2 Recent consumption trends ...................................................................................... 6 2.2 Bacon processing .................................................................................................... 11 2.2.1 Raw material selection and sorting ........................................................................ 11 2.2.2 Curing methods ...................................................................................................... 12 2.2.2.1 Pump curing ........................................................................................................ 12 2.2.2.2 Dry curing ..........................................................................................................

  • Easy Homemade Bacon Recipe Smoked Bacon
    Easy Homemade Bacon Recipe In this recipe the bacon is made from a section of pork belly. You'll need... • One 4 pound boneless pork belly • One-half cup dark brown sugar • One-half cup Tender Quick® Meat Curing Mix • One tablespoon coarse ground black pepper Rinse the pork belly and rub in the black pepper, covering all sides. Next, press the Tender Quick® curing mix onto the belly. And after that, the brown sugar. Place the pork belly in a large plastic food storage container or food storage bag and refrigerate for four days, turning over once each day. After the fourth day, rinse off the cure and sugar, then dry the belly off with paper towels. Allow the now-cured pork to air dry while you prepare the smoker. Smokin' Bacon The next step of the homemade bacon recipe is to smoke the cured pork belly in a cold smoker for 4 to 6 hours, depending on how smoky you want your bacon to taste. You can smoke the bacon in a hot smoker, but try to keep the smoker temperature below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. And remove the pork when it reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit. You don't want it to cook in the smoker. It just needs to get some smoke flavor. After smoking, wrap the bacon in plastic wrap, then in foil, and refrigerate for at least two days before slicing and frying as you would regular store bought bacon. Smoked Bacon (PS Seasoning & Spices, Inc.) Suggested Curing Procedure • 5 Gallons Ice Water (35-40 degrees F) • 5 lbs.

  • CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (From Either the French Chair Cuite = Cooked Meat, Or the French Cuiseur De
    CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (from either the French chair cuite = cooked meat, or the French cuiseur de chair = cook of meat) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as sausage primarily from pork. The practice goes back to ancient times and can involve the chemical preservation of meats; it is also a means of using up various meat scraps. Hams, for instance, whether smoked, air-cured, salted, or treated by chemical means, are examples of charcuterie. The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier , and that is generally translated into English as "pork butcher." This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The word refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, roulades, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." SAUSAGE A simple definition of sausage would be ‘the coarse or finely comminuted (Comminuted means diced, ground, chopped, emulsified or otherwise reduced to minute particles by mechanical means) meat product prepared from one or more kind of meat or meat by-products, containing various amounts of water, usually seasoned and frequently cured .’ A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat , often pork , beef or veal , along with salt, spices and other flavouring and preserving agents filed into a casing traditionally made from intestine , but sometimes synthetic. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing , drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking or freezing.

This study aims to develop a processed product from warthog meat in the form of back bacon (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum) as a healthy alternative meat product and to determine its chemical and sensory characteristics derived from adult and juvenile boars and sows. The highest scored attributes included typical bacon and smoky aroma and flavor, and salty flavor, as well as tenderness and juiciness. Neither sex nor age influenced the bacon’s chemical composition; the bacon was high in protein (~29%) and low in total fat (<2%). Palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), linoleic (C18:2!6), oleic (C18:1!9c), and arachidonic (C20:4!6) were the dominant fatty acids. There was an interaction between sex and age for the PUFA:SFA ratio (p = 0.01).
