Strategies to Reduce Purge Losses in Meat Products Stuffed in Plastic Casings

Figure 1

Schematic diagram of the experimental plan for the split-plot structure used to verify the effects of over-stuffing (OS) and contact angle (θc) of plastic casing on purge losses. (sp = subplot; n = 5 samples per each sp). Same diagram was used to prepare stuffed samples of meat emulsion recipes R₁ and R₂.
