Correlating the tenderizer effect of enzymes used in the study with the losses at thermal
treatment was noted a decrease of losses which have been minimal at the samples
injected with papain for an ageing period of 48 h, followed by samples injected with
bromelain and the samples marinated with papaya and pineapple. The biggest losses at
thermal treatment were recorded at the initial time in control samples.
Thus, after 48 h of aging thermal losses for the samples injected with papain were
18.91% lower, for the samples injected with bromelain were 10.57% lower, for the
samples marinated with papaya were 4.74% smaller and for the samples marinated with
pineapple meats were 4.74% lower compared with the control sample.
