Notes:
Weiners were prepared from preblended hot-boned (prerigor) beef raw materials stored up to 21 days at 2°C and up to 28 days at -10°C. The addition of salt was necessary for maintenance of desirable sausage-making characteristics of hot-boned beef stored at 2°C for 7 days. The addition of salt for the maintenance of desirable functional properties does not appear to be necessary, if the prerigor materials are stored at freezer temperatures (-10°C). Flavor problems may develop in products from preblended raw materials stored at -10°C beyond 14 days postmortem.
