Seventy five samples of imported canned meat products [25 of each of imported corned beef, imported canned beef and imported canned hotdogj were collected and examined physically, chemically and bacteriologically.
Physical examination of the samples revealed that:
1- Physically, the results showed that 88% of imported corned beef samples fulfilled the legal requirements. But only, one sample was swelled and sofi in consistency with liquefied gelatin, and another one had liquefied gelatin, in addition to, external rust was found in another one. So, the percentage of rejected imported corned beef samples was 12%.
On the other hand, 2 samples of imported canned beef had external rust and one sample was soft in consistency. So, 88% of imported canned beef sample fulfilled the legal requirements; while, 12% of the examined sample did not.
But, in imported canned hotdog, only external rust was observed in 3 samples; therefore, 88% of the samples fulfilled the legal requirement, but 12% of the sample did not.
Chemical examination of the samples revealed that:
2-the mean values of moisture percentage were 55.68 + 0.85, 54.6 * 0.7 and
57.88 ± 1.01% in imported corned beef, imported cairned beef and imported canned hotdog, respectively.

5- All the samples, for NaCl%, fulfilled the legal requirements.
6- The mean values of p1-I in imported corned beef, imported canned beef and imported canned hotdog were 6.07 ± 0.03, 6.1 ± 0.03 and 6.14 ± 0.04, respectively.
