PROCEDURE
To make longganisa, the curing method is applied. This involves the application of salt, sugar, nitrate, and other chemical preservatives that kill microorganisms or delay microbial action.

1. Select good quality meat.
2. Grind meat and fat coarsely.
3. Measure or weigh all the ingredients.
4. Add meat to the curing mix and mix thoroughly in a bowl, then add
extenders and mix again.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well blended.
6. Cure at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours or in refrigerator for
one day.
7. Stuff cleaned, fresh, natural, or collagen casing, using a funnel.
8. Prick stuffed casing with needle to remove air.
9. Link in desired length, usually 4 inches long.
10. Place longganisa in polyetheylene plastic bag in ¼ or ½ kg. packages. Remove the trapped air inside the bag and seal immediately.
11. Store in freezer.
12. Double the amount of ingredients for the 2 kls. of longganisa.

After mixing all ingredients to the 1 kg. meat, the yield of the finished product would weigh 1.4 kgs.

The higher the volume of production per day (more than 85kgs.), the lower the production cost, thus increasing the mark-up to more than 10%.

If price per kilogram is lower compared with the existing market price, increase mark-up to more than 10%.
