STRATEGIES FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF HEALING AND DEVELOPMENT OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODS FOR THE EVALUATION OF QUALITY IN CURED HAM

The main objectives of the project are to investigate a comprehensive strategy to optimize and standardize the production of cured ham, as well as to investigate non-destructive methodologies to predict the quality of cured hams.

Description: In this project we will try to optimize and standardize the production of cured ham and to analyze and normalize the critical points of the process that may affect, such as the raw material, the processing itself and salting.

In addition, non-destructive techniques will be applied to monitor the evolution of the healing process and predict the final quality of the cured hams, determining which ones are acceptable and included in the standards that are tolerable and accepted by the consumer.
