Microbiological spoilage and contamination of vacuum-packaged cooked sausages.
Author(s) : KORKEALA H. J., BJOERKROTH K. J.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Lactobacillus sake and Lactobacillus curvatus have been shown to be common species in cooked sausages, mainly L. sake. Lactic acid and bacterial growth on the surface of the sausages produces undesirable sensory attributes. A specific spoilage phenomenon (polysaccharide ropes between sausages or sausage slices) has also been found. Cooking of sausages during manufacturing destroys lactic acid bacteria on the surface of the sausages. They are recontaminated mainly during the processing stages after cooking. Decontamination methods (workers and equipment) can be used to prevent the growth of spoilage microorganisms and to extend the shelf life.
