One study (Pohlman, Dikeman, Zayas and Unruh, 1997) investigated the effects of ultrasound on either ultrasonically (20 kHz, 1000 W) or conventionally cooked longissimus thoracic by the conventional salt treatment, but had much lower binding strengths because salt is necessary to gel the protein. Similar observations
were made on cured ham rolls by Reynolds, Anderson, Schmidt, Theno and Siegel (1978).
