Abstract In this paper, the low-temperature drying of Chinese traditional cured meat products such as Nanjing-style sausage, hong belly, Cantonese-style sausage and meat date was studied. At temperatures ranging from 5 to 8 ℃ and humidities between 40% and 50%, the drying time of Nanjing-style sausage (dry casing, d 38--40 ram) was 192 h, of Cantonese-style sausage and meat date (collagen casing, d 22 mm) 120 h and of hong belly (d 49--51 ram) 330 h. Low-temperature drying caused a marked decrease in acid value (AV) and peroxide value (PV) and made products more nutritious and safety.
