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).
