Pork Belly Softness and Bacon Yield: Possible Impacts of Inherent Factors Pork belly softness and bacon yield: Possible impacts of inherent factors By: Soladoye Olugbenga Philip Supervisors: Prof. Phyllis Shand Dr. Manuel Juarez http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/travel/holiday-ideas/cant-look-away-12-cruise-ship-passengers-to- http://huntleysthebutchers.weebly.com/store/p45/Belly_of_Pork_(1.5kg-3kg).html watch-out-for/story-fnjjv4qx-1226852854540?nk=81e1d7e75d65612e37c1a7dbe615d155-1462290254 Introduction • Pork belly is the raw material for side bacon • Pork belly is one of the most valuable primal cut of pork carcass (Correa et al, 2008), representing about 12 – 16.7% of chilled carcass weight (Soladoye et al, 2015). • Its defect may affect product quality and processors profitability. Introduction • Consumer yearning for lean meat has led to: • Thin Belly • Soft belly Introduction • Thin belly resulted in about $97million unrealized revenue in the US in 2003 (Person et al, 2005) due to • Reduced processing yield • Increased inferior products • Soft belly also leads to reduced profitability due to: • Poor sliceability • Unattractive packaged bacon • Reduced shelf life http://urbanpaleochef.com/2013/12/04/hormel-natural-choice-original-uncured-bacon/ http://www.sunjournal.com/files/imagecache/medium/2012/05/22/BSECeatsfgate08P052712.jpg Introduction • Objective assessment is done industrially by iodine value (< 70 is good).

  • Ham and Food Safety
    United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety Information PhotoDisc Ham and Food Safety ams: They can be fresh, cook-before-eating, cooked, picnic, and country types. There are so many kinds, Hand their storage times and cooking times vary. This background information serves to carve up the facts and make them easier to understand. Definition Hams may be fresh, cured, or cured-and-smoked. Ham is the cured leg of pork. Fresh ham is an uncured leg of pork. Fresh ham will bear the term “fresh” as part of the product name and is an indication that the product is not cured. “Turkey” ham is a ready-to-eat product made from cured thigh meat of turkey. The term “turkey ham” is always followed by the statement “cured turkey thigh meat.” The usual color for cured ham is deep rose or pink; fresh ham (which is not cured) has the pale pink or beige color of a fresh pork roast; country hams and prosciutto (which are dry cured) range from pink to a mahogany color. Hams are either ready to eat or not. Ready-to-eat hams include prosciutto and cooked hams; they can be eaten right out of the package. Fresh hams and hams that are only treated to destroy trichinae (which may include heating, freezing, or curing in the plant) must be cooked by the consumer before eating. Hams that must be cooked will bear cooking instructions and safe handling instructions. Hams that are not ready-to-eat, but have the appearance of ready-to-eat products, will bear a prominent statement on the principal display panel (label) indicating the product needs cooking, e.g., “cook thoroughly.” In addition, the label must bear cooking directions.

  • Pork Processing Information (General)
    Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe - Agriculture Program Pork Processing Information (General) Packaging and processing will take place at Tri-Town Packing in Brasher Falls, NY in November, January, February and March. The hogs will weigh somewhere between 235 to 255 lbs. They will be prepared and packaged according to the cutting form submitted by each purchaser. The preparation will take approximately two weeks. The purchaser is responsible for payment and picking up their products. The cutting form must be returned to Tri-Town two weeks before the hogs are taken in to Tri-Town. Specific dates will be announced at a later time. Take-home meat estimate This chart shows approximately how many pounds of each cut of pork you can expect from half of a 245 lb. hog. These amounts will vary on the size of the animal, the amount of fat, the grade of the meat, and the amount of trimming and boning that is done by the meat processor. This chart can be considered as a guide to give some idea of the amount of meat to be received. Cuts Weight Ham, fresh or cured 19 lbs Loin roast, chops 15 lbs BUTT LOIN Bacon 16 lbs HAM Spareribs 4 lbs JOWL Shoulder butt roasts, chops 10 lbs RIBS Shoulder picnic, fresh, cured 11 lbs PICNIC BACON Sausage 10 lbs Meat total 85 lbs Lard 24 lbs Bone, fat & trimmings 13 lbs Rough estimate for slaughter and packing would cost $75, depending on cuts and packing. The fees will vary according to the specifics of how you want the meat prepared.

In 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture In addition, be sure you pick the right cut of pork updated their recommendations. The USDA now for the method of cooking you want to use on it. lists 145°F as its recommended safe minimum cooking temperature for fresh pork. Whole cuts of pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium- rare, 150°F for medium, 155°F for medium-well, and 160°F for well-done. Ground pork must be cooked to 160°F.

The opportunities to take a new adventure with pork are endless – so, to help fans get inspired and get started on a journey to enjoy pork in as many ways possible, the National Pork Board (NPB) is asking them to share what’s on their #PorkBucketList. Then, at PorkBucketList.com, they can see what pork adventures other fans, food personalities and chefs are checking off their lists and find great recipes to try. And, just for sharing, the NPB will surprise a few lucky individuals by helping them check an item off their list. “You might call it ‘That amazing recipe I’ve been meaning to make’ or ‘The perfect excuse to cook with Sriracha’ – your bucket list is full of the things you’ve had a hankering to try,” said Pamela Johnson, director of communications, the National Pork Board. “It’s easy to make and once you do, the real fun comes from crossing things off and sharing your experiences with other pork fans. No matter what’s on your list, it’s a simple way to get inspired and go tasty places with pork you might not have thought about otherwise.” To get the creative juices flowing, the NPB suggests #PorkBucketList items that highlight pork’s versatility and invite a world of new flavor: Try pork dishes inspired by all seven continents From pork belly to pig ears, taste every cut of pork in the meat case Give a bacon rose to someone special Invent a new marinade for grilled pork chops Pork fans everywhere are invited to share their #PorkBucketList online via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram using the hashtag in posts – and make sure to look for your list and others at PorkBucketList.com.
