Effect of high-pressure processing and chemical composition on lipid oxidation, aminopeptidase activity and free amino acids of Serrano dry-cured ham
2021
Lipid oxidation and proteolysis are essential processes in Serrano dry-cured ham quality. The influence of high pressure processing (HPP) at 600 MPa for 6 min on lipid oxidation, aminopeptidase (AP) activities and free amino acids (FAA) in ripened Serrano hams of different chemical composition after 5 months at 4 °C were studied. HPP increased lipid peroxidation indexes. Composition influenced both indexes, with higher levels in hams of medium or high intramuscular fat (IMF) content and in hams of low or medium salt content or salt-in-lean ratio. HPP lowered AP activities by more than 50%. Composition also affected AP activities, with lower levels in hams of low aw, high IMF content, low salt content or low salt-in-lean ratio. At the end of refrigerated storage, HPP only affected Arg and Tyr levels. Many of the individual FAA reached higher levels in hams of low aw, medium or high IMF content, low or medium salt content, or low or medium salt-in-lean ratio.
