The effects of inoculating lactic acid bacteria (LAB), specifically , , , and on the flavor, texture, and color formation of dry sausages in which NaCl was partially substituted by 40% KCl, were explored in this study. It was found that LAB inoculation increased the presence of ketones, alcohols, acids, esters, and terpenes. It also reduced the pH, moisture, protein, and fat content, improving the *-value, flavor, and texture of the sausages. Notably, inoculation showed the most significant improvement in dry sausages with NaCl substitutes, especially on the reduction of bitterness. Meanwhile, there was a close positive correlation between the LAB count with the alcohols and esters formation of dry sausage with NaCl substitution ( < 0.05). These findings offer insight into improving the product characteristics of dry sausages using NaCl substitutes.

There is a growing interest in the preservation of indigenous pig breeds, as they serve as a valuable genetic reserve. Pork meat products are widely consumed due to their desirable flavor, which is largely influenced by their chemical composition and the production processes employed. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the nutritional composition, mineral content, and fatty acid profile of meat products derived from indigenous Croatian pig breeds.

With growing environmental and health concerns surrounding meat consumption, meat analogs have emerged as sustainable and health-conscious alternatives. A major challenge in developing these products is replicating the fibrous, elastic texture of meat, where microbial transglutaminase (MTG) has shown significant potential. MTG catalyzes protein cross-linking, enhancing the structural integrity of meat analogs.

Introduction: is a widespread acid-lactic bacterium found in the environment, humans, and animal microbiota, and it also plays a role in the production of traditional food. However, the worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant strains represents a major public health threat and is the primary reason that the genus is not recommended for the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) list of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), raising concerns about its presence in food products.
Methods: In this study, 39 and 5 isolates were obtained from artisanal brine cheeses and dry sausages, sourced from 21 different Montenegrin producers.

This study aimed to assess consumer perceptions and the connections between consumers' health-related concerns and their perceptions of probiotic fermented sausage. The study was carried out using a 4-step online questionnaire composed of: (1) identification and recruitment; (2) application of the completion test; (3) attitudinal exploration; (4) socioeconomic inquiry. The online test was applied using images simulating the shopping experience of a couple in a supermarket.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ripening rate (slow or fast), usage autochthonous starter cultures (control-spontaneous fermentation, GM77, GM92 or GM77 + GM92) and type of fat (beef fat-BF, sheep tail fat-STF and BF+STF) on the volatile compounds of sucuk (a Turkish dry fermented sausage). A total of 74 volatile compounds were identified, including groups of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, sulfide compounds, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogenous compounds, acids and terpenes in sucuk. Slow ripening resulted in significant increases in the abundance of ethanol, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, acetoin and diacetyl.
