Abstract:Abstract: Ham takes on low pH (average 5.94) and high water activity (average 0.943). Total colonies of microbiology were 3.2×104CFU/g after 35 days storage (0~4℃ storage temperature);and 1.9×104CFU/g after 21 days when stored at 25℃. Shelf life was much more shortened compared room temperature and chilled temperature. pH changed little throughout the storage
