4. Conclusion
In summary, the EPTs (range 60 °C–80 °C) greatly influenced sarcoplasmic
protein solubility, protein profiles, colour and expressible
moisture in OH and WB-cooked meat. Data indicated that WB
cooking strongly modified the sarcoplasmic protein fractioncolour parameters of porcine M. longissimus dorsi at EPTs above
50 °C, these results demonstrated considerable industrial potential
for OH-cooking, yielding comparable or improved colour qualities
to those achieved by WB-treated ones but with reduced cooking
time. Future research might utilise more biomedical techniques to
make significant advances in the knowledge of colour changes of
the rapidly OH cooked meat and, thus, optimise the whole cooking
process to produce high quality meat products
