Meat processing provides livelihood projects for would-be entrepreneurs. One of the best resources we have in the country are hogs.

Slaughtering of hogs will give a 70-75% dressing percentage. AN 80 kg of hog will give a carcass (bone-in) of 60 kg. If the carcass is cut into primal cuts (pige, loin, paypay and kasim) theya re called the fabricated cuts into retail cuts will give an income of 1,000-1,500 per carcass including the sale of the bones and the internal organs.

However, if one is interested to process healthy longganisang pinoy, carcass ill hve 40 kgs lean and fat which can produce 60 kgs. Of longganisa which should include Oranic fibers that will increase the yield of the product by 50% thus bringing down the cost.

Lulu S. Rivera, guru of Meat processing in the Philippines, would like to share a recipe called “Healthy longganisan pinoy” which cn be served also for “Longsilog” 1 kg. of longganisa will give sixteen (16) serving portions of longsilog (longganisa,sinangag  at itlog).

Chicken longganisa for healthy business

By: Lourdes Rivera

Longganisa is a favorite fare for the Filipinos’ breakfast table, especially for longsilog (longganisa, sinangag and itlog). However, pork longganisa tend to be fatty and is deemed unhealthy. However, chicken meat can be substituted, which means less cholesterol for the consumer, leading to a better and healthier lifestyle.  Dressed up with the three basic principles of meat processing, chicken longganisa will be an acceptable and healthier alternative.

-Curing mix for preservation and tackiness;

-Addition of extenders to increase the yield from 1.0 kg to 1.5 kg bringing down the production cost;

-addition of seasonings for sarap, bango, and katas.

Longganisa can be served with fried rice (sinangag, egg and atsara) popularly known as longsilog. One kilogram of longganisa will yield 16 serving portions. One serving portion could be sold at 30-35 pesos . Therefore 30 pesos x 16 SP will cost 480 pesos.
