Tocino Making

                A part of our requirements in AGSC 6, we are required to conduct the different kinds of meat processing like Tocino making. Last month, we have conducted this activity in the laboratory. Suppose that we will be working on the laboratory, we are required to wear the appropriate clothing like a lab gown or apron, hairnet and a mask. Here are the following ingredients with their standard measurement for making 1 kilogram of Tocino:

                1kilogram of pork

                2 tablespoon salt

                100 grams sugar

    ¼ teaspoon Monosodium glutamate (MSG)

    ¼ teaspoon Prague powder

    2 tablespoon Anisado wine

    1 cup Pineapple juice

Procedure:

                Cut the pork into standard size of Tocino. In a bowl, put the salt, sugar, MSG and prague powder and mix it then add the anisado wine. After mixing it, put the pork in the bowl and mix with the non meat ingredients and then add the pineapple juice. After this, put the tocino in a Tupperware and put into the refrigerator and wait for two to three days before cooking to have a better taste.

                After we make tocino, we computed for the total cost of this activity and how much profit we can earn from this. And also we answered a laboratory exercise to support our activity.
