Popis: | SUMMARY– An official USDA dry-cure ham processing procedure was evaluated for efficacy in devitalizing trichinae. The procedure consisted basically of a 40-day salt cure followed by 10 days of drying at 95° F or above. Within the cure period, marked loss of viability was noted only for trichinae in muscle with brine concentrations approaching 8%. The drying temperature was the critical factor in devitalizing trichinae. 28 days' cure followed by 6 days of drying at 98° F destroyed viability of all parasites regardless of brine concentration. Other effective drying time-temperature combinations included: 125° F-4 days; 70° F-35 days and 40°F-190 days. |
