UpGRADING THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF TRADITIONAL FERMENTED SAUSAGES

چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of non-indigenous bacteriocin-producing culture of Lb. sakei on safety and quality of traditional Croatian fermented sausage. Two experiments were carried out; first to evaluate the effect of the culture on artificially inoculated population of Listeria monocytogenes, and the second to characterize the sausages produced with Lb. sakei regarding microbiological, chemical and sensorial properties. L. monocytogenes count was significantly reduced (P<0.05) during all phases of ripening. Sakacin-producing culture decreased the microbial count in final products, mainly enterococci, coagulase negative cocci and yeasts (P<0.05). The sensory properties of sausages were improved, mainly acidity, tenderness and juiciness.

Safety improvement and preservation of typical sensory qualities of traditional dry fermented sausages using autochthonous starter cultures.
Traditional dry fermented sausages are manufactured without addition of starter cultures in small-scale processing units, their fermentation relying on indigenous microflora. Characterisation and control of these specific bacteria are essential for the sensory quality and the safety of the sausages. The aim of this study was to develop an autochthonous starter culture that improves safety while...
متن کاملAdding Value to Goat Meat: Biochemical and Technological Characterization of Autochthonous Lactic Acid Bacteria to Achieve High-Quality Fermented Sausages
Quality and safety are important challenges in traditional fermented sausage technology. Consequently, the development of a tailored starter culture based on indigenous microbiota constitutes an interesting alternative. In the present study, spontaneously fermented goat meat sausages were created and analyzed using a physicochemical and microbiological approach. Thereafter 170 lactic acid bacte...
متن کاملProbiotic fermented sausages: Myth or reality?
Experts view the development of functional foods as an opportunity for innovation for the meat industry in line with consumers’ concerns on food nutrition, well being and food safety. The main microbiota of fermented sausages consists of lactobacilli, which suggests that properly characterized strains could be selected as starter cultures. The selection of strains from human origin was consider...
متن کاملMicrobial and physicochemical succession in fermented sausages produced with bacteriocinogenic culture of Lactobacillus sakei and semi-purified bacteriocin mesenterocin Y.
The influence of the bacteriocinogenic culture Lactobacillus sakei (10(5)/g) and semi-purified bacteriocin mesenterocin Y (2560AU/kg) on the safety and quality of traditional Croatian fermented sausages was investigated. The addition of Lb. sakei and/or mesenterocin Y reduced microbial counts (P<0.05) in the final products. After 28 days of ripening, coagulase-negative cocci decreased 1.5-2.0lo...
