This study evaluates effect of tumbling time and cooking temperature on cooking rate, cooking loss (CL), colour, water activity and water-holding capacity of cooked restructured ham rolls. In experiment were investigated three tumbling times (2, 4 and 6 h) at constant temperature (+4°C) and three cooking temperatures (76, 86 and 96°C). It was observed that CL decreased (P < 0.01) from 5.41% to 3.22% with tumbling time (2 h vs. 6 h) but increased (P < 0.01) from 2.35% to 7.25% along with cooking temperature (76°C vs. 96°C). In contrast, pH value increased (P < 0.01) from 6.18 to 6.24 with tumbling time (2 h vs. 6 h) but decreased (P < 0.01) from 6.22 to 6.17 along with cooking temperature (76°C vs. 96°C). In addition, high temperature had higher efficiency for thermal lethality than low temperature (F 0 values were 19 and 92 min at 96 and 76°C, respectively). Intermediate tumbling (4 h) and cooking (86°C) could be preferential.
