Taking an average of the four slices in each ham so as to get an
average for the entire ham, and comparing the sour hams with the sound
hams, we have the following comparison:
NaCl. KNO₃.
Average for 4 sour hams (entire ham) per cent. 3.84 0.143
Average for 4 sound hams (entire ham) do 3.93 .131
These figures show practically no difference between the sour and the
sound hams as regards the sodium chlorid and potassium nitrate content
of the entire ham.
