The objective of this study was to isolate, identify, and evaluate novel Korean starter cultures for use in fermented sausages. A total of 72 strains were isolated from various indigenous sources, including Nuruk, Jeotgal, and mudflats on the west coast of South Korea. Two strains were identified as Penicillium nalgiovense (SD01 and SJ02), a traditional starter used in the production of fermented sausages. A comparative analysis was performed between SD01 and SJ02 using the commercial starter culture (M600). Strain SJ02 exhibited superior lipolytic and proteolytic activities, as well as an enhanced growth rate at the optimal salinity level of 2% NaCl compared to M600. No significant differences were observed in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values, sausage colors, and texture properties between SJ02 and M600 fermented sausages, except for adhesiveness. Profiles of mycotoxin-related genes were similar for both strains. Electronic nose analysis revealed distinct aroma profiles between SJ02 and M600 fermented sausages, with a relatively higher levels of propan-2-one and butyl butanoate in SJ02, and a higher level of ethanol and propanal in M600. In electronic tongue analysis, there was no significant differences in taste characteristics between SJ02 and M600. These results indicate that P. nalgiovense SJ02 is a potential starter culture to produce dry fermented sausages, enhancing Korean style cured meat processing industry.

Fermented sausages inoculated with starter cultures which were combined Lactobacillus curvatus and Staphylococcus carnosus(LCSC), Lactobacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus carnosus(LPSC) were manufac-tured. changes in chemical composition salinity weight loss fatty acids inosine monophosphate(IMP) and hypoxanthine (Hx) and fee amino acids during ripening of fermented sausages were investigated. Due to drying the water content was decreased while the protein and fat contents salinity and weight low were increased during ripening. No significant differences between LCSC and LPSC were found for chemical composition salinity and weight loss. During ripening unsaturated fatty acid contents was dec-reased while saturated fatty acid contents was increased. At the end of the ripening the levels of mon-oenes were slightly higher in the LPSC than in the LCSC. In both treatments IMP contents were dec-reased but no changes were observed in Hx contents during ripening. Due to ripening the increase in total and individual free amino acids were observed and contents of glutamic acid alanine leucine and lysine were greatly increased.

This study was performed to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of fermented sausages containing probiotic starter cultures (LK-30 plus, Lactobacillus plantarum 155 and 167, and Pediococcus damnosus L12) with reduced fat levels, and to determine the optimum condition for the manufacture of these products. Although low-fat fermented sausages were reduced fat content at the amount of 90% and the ripening time by 1-2 weeks, as compared to regular-fat counterpart, they became harder and had many winkles outside due to the extreme drying. In addition, fat level in fermented sausages affected the composition and shear force values. During ripening, pH, lightness and yellowness values tended to decrease, however, microbial counts of inoculated lactic acid bacteria were increased up to $10^8-10^9cfu/g$ within 3 days and remained constant thereafter. Low-fat fermented sausages had higher microbial counts than regular-fat ones. Although the inoculated probiotic starter cultures alone had the functional properties, such as cholesterol reduction, anti-high blood pressure and antimicrobial activity, they did not have distinctive characteristics in the fermented sausages. Based on these results, the low-fat fermented sausages were successfully manufactured, but a little bit increased fat level and improved functional properties in the fermented sausages would be required to have better quality as compared to regular-fat counterparts.

This study was conducted to evaluate the substitution effect of red beet powder on sodium nitrite in emulsion-type pork sausages, and to investigate the effect of the addition of red beet powder on the physicochemical characteristics of emulsion-type pork sausages at 10℃ for 6 weeks. The treatments were divided into five groups: Control (sodium nitrite 0.01%), T1 (sodium nitrite 0.005% + red beet powder 0.5%), T2 (sodium nitrite 0.005% + red beet powder 0.25%), T3 (red beet powder 0.5%), and T4 (red beet powder 0.25%). In the CIE^*I didn’t delete this asterisk (*) because it might be a marker for something you wish to add later, but please note that if there is no significance for the asterisk, it should be removed as a typographical error. color of emulsion-type pork sausages, the lightness value of the control was significantly higher than for the other groups (p＜0.05). The redness value was higher in T1, whereas the yellowness value was higher in the T3 and T4 groups compared with the others (p＜0.05). The pH values of emulsion-type pork sausages were significantly decreased in the T3 and T4 groups by the addition of red beet powder (p＜0.05). However, the DPPH radical-scavenging activity was higher in the T1 and T3 groups than in the others (p＜0.05). The residual nitrite ion was the highest in the control group (p＜0.05). Therefore, it is determined that red beet powder can substitute for nitrite as a natural colorant, and it has a slightly antioxidant effect in emulsion-type pork sausages.

The objective of this study was to examine both antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of sausages made from a mixture of purple sweet potato powder and pigment. Five sausages were manufactured: F0 (control), F1 (0.15%-sodium nitrite), F2 (0.2%-purple sweet potato pigment), F3 (0.2%-purple sweet potato pigment and 5%-purple sweet potato powder), and F4 (0.2%-purple sweet potato pigment and 10%-purple sweet potato powder). Sausages were stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Total polyphenol, 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, acid value, peroxide value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and total bacterial cell contents were analyzed. Total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased according to the amount of purple sweet potato, whereas acid value, peroxide value, and VBN decreased. Addition of 0.2% purple sweet potato pigment increased lipid oxidative stability and protein deterioration inhibitory effect compared to F0, but not to the levels of 0.15% sodium nitrite. However, F2 showed the lowest pH during storage due to the pH (2.52) of the pigment. Microorganism analysis revealed that total bacterial counts of sausage added with 0.2% purple sweet potato pigment were significantly lower (P<0.05) than that of sodium nitrite-supplemented sausage. As a result, purple sweet potato powder and pigment demonstrate antioxidative activity and lipid oxidative stability in sausages, making them suitable ingredients for manufacturing sausages.

This study was performed to determine potential antimicrobial activity of lactoferrin, which incorporated into the low-fat/salt sausages during storage either at 30 or 4℃. First, the model study on the antimicrobial activity of lactoferrin was performed. Based on the model study, more than 0.25% of lactoferrin was required to have a distinctive antimicrobial activity for the growth of E. coli O157:H7 in the broth. However, extended shelf-life was not shown in the low-fat/salt sausages manufactured with lactoferrin during refrigerated storage. In addition, no synergistic effects of lactoferrin with sodium lactate were observed in the sausages. These results indicated that the addition of lactoferrin into the low-fat sausages did not have antimicrobial activity of E. coli O157:H7, due to the denaturation of lactoferrin or the complexity of the sausage, even though it had a distinctive antimicrobial effect in the model study.

In this paper, we made sausages which included 1% black garlic extracts at $15^{\circ}Bx$ mixed with 0.3% dried powders of Curcuma longa L. (ST1), Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten (ST2), Asparagus ocinals L. (ST3) and Aloe vera (ST4), respectively, and evaluated the quality of the sausage by instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation. The sausages were stored at $8^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. In terms of color intensity, ST2 provided the highest lightness (L) and redness (a), while the yellowness (b) was the highest in ST3. In the initial duration, the control group of sausage showed the highest texture measurement. ST4 had the lowest pH level (highest acidity). These outcomes decreased as the storage time became longer. In the initial storage duration, the ST4 had the highest total sugar content ($17.64{\pm}0.92mg/100g$), and this increased with longer storage duration. Since the contents of TBARS for the proposed sausages had been incremented, the initial contents were generally lower than those of the control sausages. The ABTS radical scavenging activity was performed as $89.11{\pm}0.66{\sim}99.22{\pm}0.09%$ at the $1000{\mu}g/mL$ level during the initial day of storage. To conclude, the sausages supplemented the black garlic with the proposed dried powders have a high chance of being a suitable commercial product for both customs and marketing eld.

The effects of curcumin extract on the physicochemical, microbial and sensory properties of low-fat sausages during refrigerated storage were studied. Sausage products were produced with three different formulations including 0%, 2.5%, and 5.0% curcumin extract. Low-fat sausages made with the addition of curcumin extract had lower (p<0.05) crude fat content, pH and TBARS values than the control sample. The addition of curcumin extract did not affect the water holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force, meat color, texture profile, and total bacterial count in low-fat sausages duringstorage (p>0.05). With regard to sensory evaluation, 2.5% curcumin extract added to low-fat sausages resulted in a high overall acceptability (p<0.05). In conclusion, low-fat sausages with added 2.5% curcumin extract had a higher acceptability and lipid oxidative stability during storage than products without curcumin extract.

High purity ${\gamma}$-oryzanol was obtained from rice bran and added at 0.05%, 0.10% or 0.20% (w/w) to pork sausages. Sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol showed higher CIE $L^*\;and\;a^*$ color values than the control (p<0.05). Sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol had significantly lower hardness and chewiness in textural properties than the control (p<0.05) when determined by Instron testing machine. However, there were no differences in cohesiveness and springiness between the control and the sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. Sausages containing >0.05% of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol had significantly lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control since 12 days of storage when sausages were aerobically stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 18 days (p<0.05). Thus, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol may have a potential application for the sausage products to inhibit lipid oxidation when used at >0.05%.
