Notes:
Restructured pork chops were manufactured from the lean tissue of dressed sows that were color modified(CM) with a potassium buffer rinse to attain lighter appearance. This product was compared with counterpart samples that were not color modified(C). Measurements included CIE L*, a*, b* values, visual traits, sensory traits, shear force, pH, and percentage of moisture, fat, protein, protein solubility, and cooking loss. The CM samples were lighter colored (P〈0.05), exhibited less (P〈0.05) flavor intensity, had a higher (P〈0.05) pH, and sustained less (P〈0.05) cooking loss. No differences (P〉0.05) between the CM and C samples were found in juiciness, tenderness, Warner-Bratzler shear force, and soluble protein. The CM samples exhibited less protein content and lower Lee-Kramer shear force values. Results confirm that sow meat can be lightened without adversely affecting functional properties and taste attributes of restructured pork chops.
