Classification of Slovenian Dry-Cured Ham – Kraški pršut – According to Texture Profile by Mateja Lušnic Polak, Tomaž Polak, Mojca Kuhar, Iva Zahija Jazbec, Tadej Kaltnekar, Lea Demšar

“…The effects of the supplier and the mass of pork thighs together with some production parameters including mass loss during ham production, mass of the final products and relative content of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) on the texture profile of Slovenian dry-cured ham – Kraški pršut were investigated to determine its optimal texture. The study included 32 dry-cured hams from two mass classes (heavy with thigh mass at salting of 11.7–12.1 kg and light with thigh mass at salting of 10.5–10.7 kg) and two different pork thigh suppliers from regular production. …”
