Water mobility and distribution during dry-fermented sausages “Spanish type” manufacturing and its relationship with physicochemical and textural properties: a low-field NMR study
Changes in the mobility and distribution of water in dry-fermented sausages Spanish type (“chorizo” and “salchichón”, 20 and 40 % fat) throughout ripening were detected by NMR T 2 relaxation. Three to four different water populations ( T 2 b 1 , T 2 b 2 , T 21 and T 22 ) were detected. Multivariate...

Summary: | Changes in the mobility and distribution of water in dry-fermented sausages Spanish type (“chorizo” and “salchichón”, 20 and 40 % fat) throughout ripening were detected by NMR
T
2
relaxation. Three to four different water populations (
T
2
b
1
,
T
2
b
2
,
T
21
and
T
22
) were detected. Multivariate cluster analysis revealed a clear discrimination between samples of different ripening times, and significant differences were found in the physicochemical parameters,
T
2
relaxation data and textural properties of sausages according to the production day (0, 2, 4, 7, 11 and 14). Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PCC) was used to establish the degree of linear dependence between
T
2
relaxation–physicochemical characteristics and
T
2
relaxation-textural properties. A strong correlation was found between the main component
T
21
and the water content (
r
= 0.93),
T
21
and
a
w
(
r
= 0.87), as well as between
T
21
and hardness (
r
= −0.78), although the other two water populations, mainly
T
2
b
, showed a lower degree of association with the physicochemical and textural parameters. Consequently, the study demonstrated that LF-NMR relaxometry is a promising technique to elucidate associations between the biophysical state of intrinsic water and progression in textural properties of dry-fermented meat products. |
