				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The present study was conducted for the development of 
				ready-to-eat 
				
				Vawksa rep 
				
				(smoked pork product) and to study the synergistic effect of 
				curing ingredients and vacuum packaging on the physico-chemical 
				and storage quality during refrigerated storage at (4°C±1°C) for 
				15 days. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				Four different batches of 
				
				Vawksa rep 
				
				samples were prepared, i.e., T-1 (uncured, first cooked at 121°C 
				for 15 min, and then smoked at 120°C for 30 min), T-2 (uncured, 
				cooked, and smoked simultaneously at 120°C for 45 min), T-3 
				(cured, first cooked at 121°C for 15 min, and then smoked at 
				120°C for 30 min), and T-4 (cured, cooked, and smoked 
				simultaneously at 120°C for 45 min). 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				Cooking yield was significantly higher (p<0.05) for the T-4. The 
				pH of T-3 and T-4 samples was significantly higher (p<0.05) on 
				day 15. The tyrosine value of all the samples increased 
				significantly (p<0.05) among the different days of analysis. 
				Thiobarbituric acid value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in 
				T-3 sample both at the beginning and at the end of storage 
				period. In microbiological profile, total plate count was lower 
				in T-3 and T-4 than T-1 and T-2. However, 
				
				Escherichia coli 
				
				count was negative for T-3 and T-4 samples throughout the 
				storage period. Among sensory attributes, T-3 and T-4 samples 
				registered superior scores for color, flavor, texture, 
				juiciness, and overall acceptability. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				Furthermore, 
				
				Vawksa rep 
				
				(smoked pork product) could be prepared easily with little 
				technology up-gradation and with a negligible escalation of 
				production cost.
