Abstract
To develop the utilization of lactic acid bacteria in Chinese-style sausage, Lactobacillus plantarum and a commercial culture (DS-66) were used as a starter cultures for manufacturing Chinese-style sausage. The products were vacuum packaged and stored at 3 or 25°C. The results showed that the pH value and residual sodium nitrite of the sausage significantly declined as storage time increased (P< 0.05). However, the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and volatile base nitrogen (VBN) values gradually increased as storage progressed. Lactic acid bacteria propagation increased rapidly during the initial storage time and then decreased slightly after 4 weeks of storage. The sausage inoculated with one of the starter cultures had a lower pH value and could suppress the TBA and VBN values, dissipating residual sodium nitrite, and could inhibit spoilage bacteria during the storage time.
