Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore the changes in physicochemical and sensory properties of dry-cured ham (from pigs that received a dietary supplement of processed sulfur, PS), as a function of the level of dietary PS. The following three groups were tested: (1) commercial basal feed (control, CON); (2) 0.1% of PS in the control diet (T1); and (3) 0.3% of PS in the control diet (T2). Dry-cured ham from T2 pigs had a higher moisture content and lower fat concentration than did that from the control pigs. Dry-cured ham T1 and T2 samples showed excellent lipid oxidation stability during storage and showed positive aroma scores in comparison with CON samples. Nonetheless, the total microbial plate count of dry-cured ham T1 (or T2) samples was significantly lower than that of CON samples, and volatile basic nitrogen of T1 (or T2) samples was higher than that of CON samples (P < 0.05). Concentrations of total free amino acids and sulfur-containing amino acids of ham T1 or T2 samples were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of control samples. Concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids of ham T1 and T2 samples were significantly higher than that of CON samples, whereas concentration of saturated fatty acids of CON samples was significantly higher. Thus, dry-cured ham from pigs receiving 0.3% PS in the diet showed the lowest fat concentration, increased nutrient quality and extended shelf life.

Additional keywords: fatty acid composition, free amino acid, lipid oxidation.
