Establishment Of HACCP System For Fermented Ham And Study On Its Low Salt Technology

HACCP was a prevention system which can ensure food safety, and it was widely used in food industry recently. SO far, HACCP system was recognized as the most effective way of management in ensuring food quality and safety, By controlling critical points of food processing, food safety and health hazards could be avoided or decreased to safety level. For traditional fermentation ham company with backward processing methods and poor equipments, the application of HACCP system could ensure the safety of food processing as well as improve the confidence of consumer in traditional meat company.Combined with the actual production of shuanghui company in Zhejiang and theories of HACCP system, HACCP system of traditional fermentation ham was established in the article. In the procedure of establishing HACCP system, microbe, physical and chemical index of raw leg, microbe change of process, environmental microbe, equipment, tool as well as hands of workers were investigated. By analyzing material receiving, storage, curing, ferment and product packaging etc., CCP was determined, as well as critical limits, monitoring system, prevention and correction plan. Based on GMP and SSOP, the application of HACCP system gained good effect. Defective products, Product corruption and Food poisoning were well avoid. the quality of product was improved, and the economic benefits of company and Social benefits was also improved.The main results were as follows:1. According to the seven theories of HACCP system, hazard analysis for Jinhua ham were carried out, based on this, CCP and monitoring system was determined. The CCP of Jinhua ham craft were:material receiving, curing, immerging, leg washing, and ferment.2. The quality of products was Monitoredby using HACCP system. Tracing record showed that the cure, ferment and craft were well controlled, the quality of product was improved, and defective products and Product loss were greatly decreased.3.For high salt content, salty taste and consumption affect of traditional ham, the high-salt technology of Jinhua ham was improved. The salt content of ham was decreased, both flavor and quality was improved. The consumption and safety of Jinhua ham was enhanced.
