    Breaking strength of dry fermented sausages and their correlation with texture profile analysis (TPA) and physicochemical characteristics.
    (Meat Science, 2007) Herrero Herranz, Ana María; Ordóñez Pereda, Juan Antonio; Romero De Ávila Hidalgo, María Dolores; Herranz Hernández, María Beatriz; Hoz Perales, Lorenzo De La; Cambero Rodríguez, María Isabel
    In order to assess its usefulness for monitoring textural properties of dry fermented sausages (chorizo, salchichon, salami, fuet and mini-fuet) the determination of breaking strength (BS) was evaluated. Texture profile analysis (TPA) and physico-chemical measurements (pH, aw, dry matter, fat content) were also performed. The BS determined by tensile test and TPA analysis produced complementary information that allowed these meat products to be grouped according to four different textural profiles. These profiles were characterized (p<0.05) by the values of BS, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Multivariate analysis confirmed that BS and TPA parameters were correlated significantly (p<0.00005). On basis of these results, TPA parameters could be used to construct regression models to predict BS and therefore, to obtain a more complete textural property description of the dry fermented sausages. The resulting regression model was BS=-0.777+0.728∗adhesiveness-16881∗cohesiveness+1884.61∗springiness+0.042∗hardness (R(2)=0.634, p<0.00005).
