Similarly to PV, TBARS also increased significantly (p < 0.05)
during salting stage (Fig. 5). This indicated that the secondary lipid
oxidation almost occurred simultaneously with primary oxidation
during dry-salted bacon processing. Increasing salt content from
1.0% to 5.0% also resulted in a large increase of 87.1% in TBARS value
until the end of salting, suggesting that salt had a significant
(p < 0.05) prooxidative effect. Except for the LT&LS group, the
TBARS for all the other treatment groups increased initially to a
peak and decreased thereafter.
