The objective of this study was to determine the effect fresh celery powder and starter culture (FCP+SC), blanching celery powder and starter culture (BCP+SC) had on the quality characteristics of indirectly cured sausages, Two treatments (TRT) (TRT 1: FCP+SC, 0.3%FCP+0.033%WBL-45; TRT 2: BCP+SC, 0.3%BCP+0.033%WBL-45 ), Negative Control (NC) (no-nitrite-added control), Positive Control (PC) (0.1%sodium nitrite-added control) were investigated. Residual nitrite levels throughout storage is always higher in PC than FCP+SC and BCP+SC(P < 0.05), but in TBARS, PC is better than FCP+SC and BCP+SC(P < 0.05). Few differences existed between TRTs and PC for a* and gel strength. The processing methods investigated to manufacture “naturally cured” in this study were applied for products instead of sodium nitrite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
