Summary

Regardless of processing methods, pre-rigor meat had less (P lower than 0.05) protein and ash and more moisture contents than its post-rigor counterpart. An inverse trend was observed with the cooking losses. The dry-cured hams exhibited lower pH and water holding capacity than the immersed and tumbled ones. The products processed from tumbled meat were juicier, more tender, pink and produced better products than their equivalent non-tumbled counterparts.
