  1. Johnsonville SausageR&D Internship Garrett Skaar Iowa State University Summer 2007

  2. Main Objective • Familiarize myself with and test viable antioxidants that could be used to improve shelf life in natural sausage products • Focus on issues surrounding linked product

  3. Why test this? • All-Natural Ground makes 22 days shelf life • All-Natural linked products lose significant shelf life compared to control • Do specific antioxidants interact with casing? • Does the process of stuffing change antioxidant effectiveness?

  4. Testing Format • Samples taken in three states: • Ground • Stuffed (processed not cased) • Cased • Evaluate product for: • Shelf life • TBA • Hunter Color • Sensory

  5. Antioxidant Descriptions • BHA- Butylated Hydroxyanisole, antioxidant which slows down autoxidation of ingredients that could cause change in taste and color. Primarily used to stop fats from becoming rancid. • Propyl Gallate- an antioxidant that is used to protect against the oxidation of the fats and oils in products • Citric Acid- colorless, odorless crystal. Sour to the taste. Used as food additive for antioxidant qualities to prevent oils from becoming rancid

  6. Test 1 • A- Pork with salt & water • B- BHA • C- Citric Acid • D- Propyl Gallate • E- Mix (BHA, CA, PG) • F- Mix w/low Rosemary (RK) 500 ppm • G- High Rosemary 2500 ppm • H- OWM w/high Rosemary

  7. Test 2 • A- BHA, 2500 ppm RK • B- PG, 2500 ppm RK • C- CA, 2500 ppm RK • D- Lemon Juice • E- Skidmore mix • F- Sweet Can., skid, no RK • G- Sweet Can., skid, 2500 ppm RK • H- Sweet Can., 2500 ppm RK, no skid

  8. Test 3 • A- LSOP- Nat w/ Can syn. case • B- LSOP- Nat w/ Natural case • C- LSOP- Nat w/ US syn. case • D- LSOP w/ Can syn. case • E- LSOP w/ Natural case • F- LSOP w/ US syn. case • G- LSOP- Nat w/ RK, .02%bamboo ext. • H- LSOP- Nat w/ .02% bamboo ext.

  9. Results

  10. Results cont… • n=1, no statistical information taken • Negligible difference seen between processing stages: ground, stuffed, casing • No standout/failure sample noted • Learning about testing processes and information that can be acquired • Minimal control data available for comparison to color/ TBA

  11. Next Steps • Look at WF antioxidant blend (Natural Ground Italian) in links and Homestyle patties • Repeat trials to obtain statistical data • Run antioxidants and mixes with spice blends • TBA and Color tests run in tandem with shelf life

  12. Secondary Objectives • Assist with the Product Development and Testing of current projects • Woody • TNJ • Crumbles • Breakfast blends • Begin development of JVL fundraising website as member of the Intern team

  13. Secondary Objective Learnings • R&D Projects • Consumer insight • Quality of Johnsonville name • Organization of meetings • Food service • Sensory tests • Interact with spice company, ex: Wixon • Preliminary product ideas

  14. Secondary Objective Learnings cont… • R&D Travels • Rounds, Seattle/Chicago • IFT, Chicago • ISU & Burke, Ames • CLT, Minneapolis • Group Intern Project • Interact with other students • Individual project progression • Group outings
