Summary

High-pressure treatment of dry-cured hams was investigated in this study. Ham slices were inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes Scott A before application of high-pressure treatment. It was shown that treatment of Iberian and Serrano hams at 450 MPa for 10 minutes significantly reduced the population of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and had no adverse effect on the sensorial characteristics of the hams.
