In order to shorten the curing time, reduce the production cost, improve the product quality and guide rapid curing of duck meat, we examined the effects of normal pressure curing (control group), vacuum tumbling curing and variable pressure static curing on the curing rate and quality of duck meat. The results showed that vacuum tumbling curing significantly increased the curing rate (P < 0.05) as compared to two other curing methods, which did not significantly differ from each other. After vacuum tumbling curing for 2 h, brightness (L*) significantly increased (P < 0.05), and redness (a*) a...
