Quality Control of Jinhua Ham from the Influence between Proteases Activities and Processing Parameters: A Review

Endogenous proteases are significant for Jinhua ham quality. Protein degradation affects the chemical traits, texture and the formation of flavor substances. Protease activities are affected by different process parameters, such as processing temperature, maturation time, salt content and the drying...

description Endogenous proteases are significant for Jinhua ham quality. Protein degradation affects the chemical traits, texture and the formation of flavor substances. Protease activities are affected by different process parameters, such as processing temperature, maturation time, salt content and the drying rate. They affect ham quality, which can be controlled by process parameters. The influences of key factors on Jinhua ham quality are briefly summarized, which can provide a theoretical basis for the selection of specific parameters in dry-cured ham processing. Furthermore, some suggestions are proposed for correcting and improving the flavor and textural defects of ham, yet the effectiveness depends on the operating conditions. The determination of enzyme activity is not real-time and unsupervised at the moment. Future research will focus on the determination of the actual endogenous protease activity and the quantitative relationship between the enzyme activity and main processing parameters.
