and then subjected to
tenderness and sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation of the loin
sample was performed to determine its colour, aroma, tenderness,
juiciness and flavour. The evaluation was performed by a trained 4 to
5 person team in a 5-point scale (1 = unacceptable and 5 = very acceptable).
Tenderness was measured using the Warner-Bratzler apparatus
(WB) manufactured at the Baking Industry Research Centre in Bydgoszcz
(Poland).
