3.5. Nitrosoheme and residual nitrite contents of cooked sausages
To verify the effect of WFC levels on the reaction
and degradation of nitrite in meat emulsion system,
nitrosoheme and residual nitrite contents of cooked sausages were determined (Fig. 4).
Nitrosoheme pigments content of cooked sausages with 120 ppm nitrite ranged from 49.7 to 54.4 ppm of hematin,
