Abstract:Objective: A western-style rabbit meat ham rich in corn germ oil was developed, and the corn germ oil was used to replace animal fat in traditional ham. Methods: Using corn germ oil, rabbit and starch as the main raw materials, through single factor test and L9 (34) orthogonal test, the types of starch and the best addition amount of corn germ oil, rabbit and starch were determine, and the quality indexes of western-style rabbit meat ham were tested according to relevant national standards. Results: The western-style rabbit meat ham, which was rich in corn germ oil, made with 8.0% corn germ oil, 68% rabbit, 15% ice water, and 5.0% cassava modified starch according to the formula, meets the quality indicators of "Smoked Ham" (GB/T 20711—2006) Standard requirements. Conclusion: It is feasible to use corn germ oil instead of animal fat to prepare western-style rabbit meat ham rich in corn germ oil.
