Abstract

Fermented sausage was manufactured using a commercial lactic acid starter culture and varying levels of liquid smoke. Samples were taken during the 24 hr fermentation period and the lactic bacterial count, pH and titratable acidity determined. Final pH values, titratable acidity and lactic bacterial counts were not affected by recommended use levels of liquid smoke, although exponential growth was delayed. Growth studies in a broth medium containing liquid smoke suggest that liquid smoke has the potential for inhibiting the lactic starter cultures used to make fermented sausage.
