Practically all methods of curing pork involve the use of salt as a curing agent. Its main function is as a preservative to prevent or reduce the action of micro-organisms which might cause spoilage in the meat. Aside from this preserving action, the salt contributes greatly to the palatability of the meat. Oversalted pork is undesirable, although it is quite common. The amoimt of salt present ...

salt curing (kencing) is a method used for preserving food products, including fish, that is believed to influence the quality and chemical composition of the finial product. the present study is focused on the alteration of protein quality and amino acid profile of scomberoides commersonnianus after stacking during 190 days of shelf life in ambient temperature. a12 assorted of specimens were c...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of refined, solar, and bamboo salt on the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of cured pork loin. Moisture, protein, fat, and ash content, lightness, yellowness, cooking yield, and color, juiciness, and tenderness of sensory properties on curing pork loin exhibited no significant differences regardless of the nature of sa...

We demonstrate a simple one-step method for synthesizing noble metal nanoparticle embedded free standing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite films. The process involves preparing a homogenous mixture of metal salt (silver, gold and platinum), silicone elastomer and the curing agent (hardener) followed by curing. During the curing process, the hardener crosslinks the elastomer and simultaneous...
