- Abstract
This paper describes the effect of high-pressure treatment (HHP) (600 MPa) on the oxidative stability (hexanal) and the sensory properties of sliced and vacuum-packaged Iberian dry-cured ham varying in intramuscular fat (IMF) content (low fat-flank, high fat-hip) after refrigerated storage (120 days, +2 °C). Both static and dynamic time-intensity sensory techniques were applied. Samples subjected to HHP treatment and HF samples showed the highest hexanal content. HF samples displayed higher scores for colour intensity, marbling and brightness of lean. IMF content contributed to a more intense temporal perception of hardness and fibrousness and to a more intense and longer rancid flavour perception. External fat from pressurized samples showed a higher colour intensity and hardness probably due to the extent of lipid oxidation and the development of fat crystallization. Results of temporal analysis indicated that pressurized samples turned out harder, juicier, more fibrousness, saltier and displayed a more intense overall and rancid flavour.
