2. Smoking is a method for the mild
preservation and also enhance the color and
flavor by the combustion or smoldering of
woods.
In large smoke houses by hanging the meat
or carcass over burning hardwood logs or
wood chips.
If a smoke chamber temperature is 57°c to
give meat internal temperature of about 52°c
. At this temperature smoking may take from
18 – 24 hours.
3.
4. Development of aroma and flavor.
Preservation.
Creation of new products.
Development of color.
Formation of a protective skin.
Prevent from oxidation.
5. More than 300 different compounds have
been isolated from wood smoke.
Mostly chemical compounds are –
Phenols:-
Act as a antioxidant.
High boiling point.
Contribute to color and flavor.
prevent oxidative changes.
Guaiacol is mainly responsible for pungent flavor.
6. Most common and simplest alcohol is
methanol or wood alcohol.
Carrier for the other volatile compounds.
Minor contribution in aroma and flavor.
Minor bactericidal effect.
Organic Acid:-
Reduces the greater acidity on the surface of
smoked meat.
These are found in vapor phase and particle
phase.
7. Short chained simple compounds ( Butanol ,
acetone , propanol , di-acetyl , furfural and
others).
Most important to color , flavor and aroma.
Helps in millard reaction.
Hydrocarbons:-
A no. of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
(PAHC) isolated from smoked foods is
recognized as carcinogenic.
Removed by electrostatic filter.
8. CO2 and CO are absorbed on the surface of
fresh meat and react to produce the bright
red pigments , carboxymyoglobin and
carbomonoxide-myoglobin.
O2 combine with myoglobin to produce
oxymyoglobin or met myoglobin and produce
muddy color , specially in the presence of
alkaline phasphatase.
9. Liquid smoke is prepared by pyrolysis of
hardwood sawdust.
It is filtered through a cellulose pulp filter,
which removes hydrocarbons.
The final product contain vapour phase
compounds(phenols,organic
acids,alcohols,and carbonyl compounds).
Liquid smoke diluted before applying with;
20-30 parts liquid smoke,5 parts citric acid
or vinegar,65-75 parts water.
10. Adding it directly to the meat emulsion.
Dipping the product directly into the smoke
solution.
Spraying the smoke solution over the
product.
Vaporizing the liquid by putting it on a hot
surface.
Spray method is frequently used for
continuous processing.
11. Do not require smoke generator
Smoke is recycle until the desired
concentration is reached.
Carcinogens can be removed.
Little atmospheric pollution.
Faster than conventional smoking.
12. In smoking hard woods are used that consist
of –
Cellulose (40-60%) basic component
Hemi cellulose (20-30%) basic component
Lignin (20-30%) act as cell binding glue
Cellulose and hemi cellulose are
carbohydrates.
ALDER:
Specially used in European country.
Mild preservative.
Mostly used for fish as well as poultry and
pork.
13. Found everywhere.
Mild preservative.
Flavor slightly sweet.
Used for beef , poultry , game bird and
pork.
CHERRY:
Mild characteristics
Flavor slightly sweet and fruity smoke
flavor.
Used for poultry , game bird and pork
14. Mild characteristics.
Flavor slightly sweet and woody flavor.
Used for game bird , poultry and pork.
HICKORI :
Mostly used in North America.
Moderate characteristics.
Pungent flavor.
Used for pork , poultry , beef and cheese.
15. Moderate characteristics.
Mildly smoky flavor , some sweet flavor.
Used for poultry , hem and vegetables.
OAK:
Mostly used in Europe.
Moderate characteristics.
Pleasant flavor some times are little acidic.
Used for beef (particularly brisket
portion),poultry and pork also.
16. Smoking are Three types:-
Cold smoking:
Used as a flavor enhancer
Temperature is 20-30°c
At this temperature ,food takes on a smoky
flavor but relatively remains moist.
Used for chicken breasts , salmon , pork
chops and beef.
Some cold smoked foods are baked, grilled ,
roasted before eating.
17. Exposes the food to smoke and heat in a
control environment.
Temperature between 52-80°c
Foods are fully cooked.
Moist and flavorful.
If temperature more than 85°c,food will
shrink.
Smoking at high temperature reduces the
yield as both moisture and fat.
18. ◦ In North America this method is
commonly referred to as barbecue, pit
baking or pit roasting.
◦ It may be done in a smoke master , closed
wood fire oven or barbecue pit , or any
smoker that can reach about 121c°.
◦ In this type of smoking there is both
smoking and roasting of food product
takes place.
19. Kills bacteria and slow down the growth of
others.
Prevents fats from rancid.
Extent shelf life of product.
Aroma and flavor enhance.
DISADVANTAGES:-
Require constant attention and equipment
that can be costly.
Smoked food may contain carcinogenic
substances.
If we consumed smoked food regularly it
cause stomach cancer.
