Control and dry-aged pork loins (5 g) were mixed with 45 mL of distilled water and homogenized at 1,130 g for 1 min using a homogenizer (T25 basic, IKA GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). The homogenate was filtered using filter paper (No. 4 filter paper, Whatman) and the filtrate was measured pH using a pH meter (SevenEasy, Mettler-Toledo, Korea).
About 30 g of pork loins were individually vacuum-packaged in a low-density polyethylene/nylon vacuum bags (20×15 cm). The packaged pork loins were cooked in a 75℃ water bath for 20 min and then cooled in tab water for 10 min. Cooking loss of pork loins was examined by comparing weight of before and after cooking.
