Summary

The possibility of prolonging the shelf-life of refrigerated sausages by the utilization of Lactobacillus alimentarius was studied. The samples inoculated with Lactobacillus alimentarius and kept at 10 deg C showed a more rapid decrease in pH on day 7, whereas the rest of the samples showed a progressive pH decrease during storage. In control samples stored at 5 deg C the pH decrease was observed only after 5 weeks of storage. When stored at 10 deg C the same pattern of pH decrease was observed in the third week. The utilization of Lactobacillus alimentarius was successful for microbiological control, being effective against Gram-negative microorganisms.
