“…Using this strategy, already commercial probiotic strains have been studied. The perhaps most well-documented probiotic strain, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, has been used in several studies for this purpose, with varying success [91][92][93][94]. Although the GG strain can perform the fermentation, there seems to be a balance between inoculum size, off-taste (due to excessive acid), and enough survival in the finished product, which is difficult to achieve [94].…”

Fermented sausages are highly treasured traditional foods. A large number of distinct sausages with different properties are produced using widely different recipes and manufacturing processes. Over the last years, eating fermented sausages has been associated with potential health hazards due to their high contents of saturated fats, high NaCl content, presence of nitrite and its degradation products such as nitrosamines, and use of smoking which can lead to formation of toxic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Here we review the recent literature regarding possible health effects of the ingredients used in fermented sausages. We also go through attempts to improve the sausages by lowering the content of saturated fats by replacing them with unsaturated fats, reducing the NaCl concentration by partly replacing it with KCl, and the use of selected starter cultures with desirable properties. In addition, we review the food pathogenic microorganisms relevant for fermented sausages (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum, and Toxoplasma gondii) and processing and postprocessing strategies to inhibit their growth and reduce their presence in the products.

“…LAB are reported to accelerate ripening time, improve colour and fl avour profi le, inhibit pathogenic and spoilage bacteria by producing lactic acid and bacteriocin, thereby improving the overall quality and keeping quality of products (Bacus 1986, Con and Gökalp 2000, Erkkilä et al 2001, Amézquita and Brashears 2002, Fadda et al 2002. Staphylococci, on the other hand, have nitrite reductase, catalase positive, lipolytic, proteolytic and amine oxidase characteristics (Miralles et al 1996, Gardoni et al 2002, Mauriello et al 2002, which could produce important volatiles to generate fl avour components in such dry fermented sausages (Søn-dergaard andStahnke 2002, Olesen et al 2004).…”

Effects of pure starter cultures on physico-chemical and sensory quality of dry fermented Chinese-style sausage

Dry fermented Chinese-style sausages prepared in laboratory inoculating with Lactobacillus casei subsp.casei-1.001, Pediococcus pentosaceus-ATCC 33316, Staphylococcus xylosus-12 and without starter culture randomly sampled at 0, 3, 10, and 24 days of ripening were analyzed for physico-chemical and sensory qualities. A signifi cant (p<0.05) decrease in moisture content of sausage during ripening was observed, whereas other major chemical parameters remained unchanged. The microbial fermentation resulted in decreased pH and nitrite but increased non protein nitrogen and total volatile basic nitrogen in the products. Starter cultures except P. pentosaceous-ATCC 33316, used in the sausage failed to suppress rancidity in ripened product as indicated by a signifi cant (p<0.05) rise in thiobarbituric acid. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) in the colour of all sausages decreased with ripening time, meanwhile the redness (a) increased signifi cantly (p<0.05) in sausages inoculated with cultures L. casei subsp.casei-1.001 and S. xylosus-12. The texture profi le of sausages was almost similar except for P. pentosaceous-ATCC 33316, which showed signifi cantly (p<0.05) lower hardness and gumminess. Based on the sensory and physico-chemical quality criteria, S. xylosus-12 could be used as a starter culture to produce dry fermented Chinese-style sausage of high quality.

A crescente preocupação dos consumidores em conhecer as características dos alimentos que consomem tem conduzido ao desenvolvimento de produtos que promovem a saúde e o bemestar, além de sua função de nutrição (TYÖPPÖNEN; PETÄJÄ; MATTILA-SANDHOLM, 2003). Esses alimentos que geram efeitos benéficos à saúde humana, aliados à ação nutricional são denominados funcionais. Seu efeito deve-se à adição de ingredientes ativos à remoção ou substituição de substâncias indesejáveis em sua composição (ERKKILÄ et al., 2001b).Os probióticos são definidos como microrganismos vivos capazes de melhorar o equilíbrio microbiano intestinal produzindo efeitos benéficos à saúde do indivíduo (BRASIL, 2002). Segundo Leroy, Verluyten e Vuyst (2006) e Ammor e Mayo (2007), os probióticos necessitam ser ingeridos em quantidades suficientes para exercerem efeito benéfico sobre a fisiologia e saúde do hospedeiro. Ao consumo de probióticos estão associados vários efeitos benéficos à saúde, como o melhor trânsito intestinal dos alimentos, facilitando a digestão, o alívio dos sintomas de intolerância à lactose, aumento da resposta imune, redução dos episódios de diarréia, prevenção ou supressão de câncer de cólon e redução do colesterol sangüíneo (HEENAN et al., 2002). AbstractProbiotic Lactobacillus strains have been widely used in dairy products. Recently, attention has been directed to the use of probiotics in meat products, mainly in fermented sausages. The effect of the utilization of Lactobacillus casei, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus strains on physicalchemical, microbiological and sensory quality of fermented sausage was evaluated. The sausages were processed in four batches: one was used as the control, while the other three batches received one of the probiotic strains each. The manufacturing procedure described for Italian salami with 25 days of fermentation and ripening was followed. The presence of probiotic Lactobacillus resulted in a faster pH decrease, which affected the taste of the probiotic sausages. There was an increase in acid notes, mostly in the sausage containing L. rhamnosus. The lactobacilli strains also decreased the growth of Staphylococcus xylosus; however, they did not affect the number of Pediococcus pentosaceus and the acceptability of the sausages in the sensory evaluation. All Lactobacillus strains showed an increase in viable cell count during manufacturing and this parameter remained high until the end of ripening. The viability of the utilization of probiotic Lactobacillus, especially L. paracasei and L. casei, in fermented sausage, maintaining the quality characteristics of the product, was demonstrated. Keywords: probiotic; Lactobacillus paracasei; Lactobacillus casei; Lactobacillus rhamnosus; fermented sausage. ResumoOs probióticos têm sido largamente utilizados em produtos lácteos. Recentemente, seu uso em produtos cárneos tem despertado interesse, principalmente em embutidos fermentados consumidos na forma crua e sem aquecimento prévio. Verificou-se a influência da utilização de Lactobacillus casei, L. ...
