Table 2. Yield and water-holding capacity of sous-vide and oven-dry cooked pork loin hams formulated with various sugars
Trait | Control (without sugar) | Treatment (w/w) | Significance of p value |
0.5% molasses | 0.5% allulose | 0.5% xylose |
Pumping yield (%) | 98.50±0.09 | 98.45±0.47 | 98.99±0.31 | 98.62±0.29 | NS1) |
1st cooking yield (%) | 72.02±0.50b | 78.13±1.72a | 78.11±1.14a | 72.30±0.74b | <0.001 |
2nd cooking yield (%) | 85.95±1.90 | 84.29±0.63 | 84.39±0.50 | 82.89±0.74 | NS |
Final yield (%) | 70.07±3.74 | 74.31±6.15 | 74.82±3.30 | 72.18±3.42 | NS |
The salt concentration of all treatments was equally fixed as 2% (w/w) with the 15% pumping ratio.
Means sharing the same superscript letter within a row are not significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test.
NS: non-significance (p>0.05).
