The content of carcinogenous N-nitrosamines was measured in protein preparations and sausages manufactured with the use of these preparations. Isolates from sunflower and soybean proteins and casein as well as sausages manufactured with the use of the indicated proteins did not differ from control samples as regards the content of nitrosamines. However, up to 6 micrograms/kg N-nitrosodimethylamine was detected in fish protein isolates. The content of nitrosamines in sausages manufactured with the use of fish protein appeared to be higher than in control.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic virus that infects humans when virus-containing pork products are consumed. This study aimed to explore MNV (murine norovirus) and HEV inactivation during cold smoking and ripening/fermentation treatments used for salami-like sausages (mettwurst). MNV inactivation was monitored in culture medium solution and in sausage while being subjected to a salami-like sausage manufacturing process.

The zoonotic hepatitis E virus (HEV) can cause acute and chronic hepatitis in humans. Meat from domestic pigs, which represent a major animal reservoir of HEV, plays a key role in HEV transmission. Although pork meat products can contain HEV-RNA, it is unknown whether infectious HEV is still present after their manufacturing process.

Vegan and vegetarian diets are increasing in popularity. Consequently, the supply and demand of plant-based meat alternatives has increased steadily over the past few years. However, scientific research on spoilage processes for such products is still inadequate as compared to research on traditional meat products.
