the inhibitory effect of salt on antioxidant enzyme activities
was relatively weaker than the promoting effect of temperature
on their activities. In addition, this result also suggested that
temperature and salt content might have interactive effect on antioxidant
enzyme activities in the muscle during dry-salted bacon
processing. In our previous research, the interactive effect of temperature
and salt content on lipoxygenase activity have been elucidated
(Jin, Zhang, Yu, Lei, et al., 2010; Jin, Zhang, Yu, Zhang, et al.,
2010). So, in our future studies, the detailed interactive effect of
temperature and salt content on antioxidant enzyme activities will
be studied by response surface experiment
