Consistent, high quality pork will increase
positive eating experiences for consumers
Correlating pork quality from the ham, loin, and
belly
NPB 14-221
2. Objectives
• Correlate fresh loin quality with fresh ham
quality, processed ham quality, and fresh belly
characteristics
• Characterize variation in loin, ham, and belly
of pigs selected for
– High growth potential / adequate meat quality
– High meat quality / adequate growth potential
• Evaluate effects of seasonality on variation in
loin, ham, and belly quality

5. Materials and Methods
• Hot carcass weight
• Fat-O-Meater information
• Subjective color, marbling, and firmness on loins
• Iodine value determination
• VISNIR prediction of SSF and IMF
• Ham weight
• Objective CIE color on the ham face

10. Materials and Methods
• 30 min loin pH
• Temperature decline (LD & SM)
• Loin ultimate pH (~50% of the population)
• Loin purge loss
• Fresh belly dimensions (~50% of the population)
• Fatty acid profiles
• Ham processing characteristics
Selected 10% of the Population
23. Summary
• For pigs raised during the cold season:
– Cut did not affect carcass characteristics
– No interactions with cut and genetics for carcass
characteristics
– Primal weights were positively correlated with
each other
– Ham and loin color were only moderately related
– As hams became heavier bellies became thicker
and firmer
