Frank-furters
Sausages and mini-salamis smoked with sundry woods
possessed 8.22 and 9.03 lg/kg total PAHs respectively. Alder and
beech woods with cherry spice mix application produced higher
PAHs than simple beech wood. Sausage smoking with Poplar wood,
hickory and combination of beech wood with apple spice mix gave
30% PAHs reduction than beech chips. Similarly, hickory, poplar
and oak based salamis smoking reduced PAHs content to 40%. Contrarily,
moisture content of wood chips, their particle sizes and
smoke generation temperatures were not correlated with the PAHs
concentrations (Hitzel, Pöhlmann, Schwagele, Speer, & Jira, 2012).
