Effects of tumbling speed (15 or 25 rpm) and cumulative revolutions of the tumbler (3000, 6000 or 9000) on the quality of restructured hams were investigated. These variables had no significant effect on shrinkage and water holding capacity. However, products processed at 25 rpm and 3,000 revolutions were significantly harder, gummier, and chewier than other treatments. the hams processed at 25 rpm were significantly darker and chewier compared to the ones processed at 15 rpm as perceived by the taste panelists. Hams processed at 3,000 or 9,000 revolutions were the most tender. Overall, all the processing schedules resulted in acceptable products as judged by the sensory panel.
