Probiotic strains used in the production of dry fermented meat should have appropriate technological properties comparable to traditional starter cultures used in meat processing. The problem arises when probiotics are added to a nonsterile food matrix, such as meat, and when it is uncertain whether these microorganisms have dominated the environment. The study aimed to assess the microbiological, physicochemical quality and safety of dry fermented pork loins and sausages with the addition of the probiotic starter culture LOCK900, produced under industrial conditions. Additionally, genetic identification by the PCR method and the presence of LOCK900 in the final products and after storage was done. It was demonstrated by the high number of LAB (>6.0 log cfu g −1) and confirmed the presence in 90% of the probiotic strain LOCK900 in the study of dry fermented meat products during all processing stages. Moreover, the safe and good quality loins and sausages can be stored in refrigerated, anaerobic conditions for 12 weeks, provided that optimized technological conditions are applied. In conclusion, the obtained results of the experiment showed that it is possible to create innovative functional dry fermented pork loins and sausages in a laboratory and then transfer the developed technology to full industrial conditions.

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar a resistência de espécies probióticas de Lactobacillus na presença de sais de cura e testar sua sensibilidade frente a diferentes antimicrobianos para o desenvolvimento de meio de cultura seletivo. As culturas Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei e Lactobacillus rhamnosus foram semeadas em ágar MRS contendo concentrações de 0% a 3% de cloreto de sódio e 0 a 200 ppm de nitrito de sódio. O efeito do uso concomitante dos sais de cura foi verificado utilizando-se 3% de cloreto de sódio e 200 ppm de nitrito de sódio. As bactérias probióticas e a cultura starter Pediococcus pentosaceus foram testadas frente a 20 discos de antimicrobianos pela técnica de disco-difusão. O crescimento dos probióticos não apresentou alteração nas diferentes concentrações de cloreto de sódio, assim como nas concentrações de até 200 ppm de nitrito de sódio. Verificou-se resistência ao uso simultâneo de cloreto e nitrito de sódio. Entre os antimicrobianos testados, a tetraciclina apresentou resultados satisfatórios para a inibição dos probióticos permitindo o crescimento isolado da cultura starter. Os probióticos apresentaram desenvolvimento satisfatório na presença dos sais de cura, demonstrando potencial para sua utilização em produtos cárneos fermentados com ação probiótica. CHARACTERISTICS OF PROBIOTIC CULTURES FOR THE USE IN FERMENTED MEAT PRODUCTS - SENSIBILITY TO CURING SALTS AND ANTIBIOTIC USE FOR THE SELECTIVE ENUMERATION Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of probiotic species of Lactobacillus in the presence of curing salts and to test their sensibility in the presence of antibiotics for the development of a selective culture media. The probiotic cultures, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei spp paracasei and Lactobacillus casei spp rhamnosus, were plated in MRS agar with concentration of 0 to 3% of sodium chloride and 0 to 200 ppm of sodium nitrite. The inhibitory effect of 3% sodium chloride and 200 ppm sodium nitrite in simultaneous use was evaluated for the probiotic strains. The sensibility of the starter culture, Pediococcus pentosaceus and the probiotic cultures in the presence of antibiotic was carried out using 20 different antibiotic discs by the disc-diffusion technique. The growth of the probiotic cultures wasn’t affected at different concentrations of sodium chloride, and even to concentrations of 200 ppm of sodium nitrate. Resistance was verified by simultaneous use of sodium chloride and nitrate. Among the tested antibiotics, tetracycline showed a satisfactory inhibition effect for the probiotic strains, since the growth of starter Pediococcus pentosaceus was not affected. The probiotics showed satisfactory growth in the presence of curing

ABSTRACT A set of 118 strains of the species Lactobacillus rhamnosus was collected, including probiotic strains, research strains with potential probiotic properties, food starter cultures, and human isolates. The majority of the strains were collected from companies, hospitals, or culture collections or were obtained after contacting authors who reported clinical case studies in the literature. The present work aimed to reveal the genotypic relationships between strains of these diverse sources. All strains were initially investigated using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) with three different primer combinations. Numerical analysis of FAFLP data allowed (i) confirmation of the identification of all strains as members of L. rhamnosus and (ii) delineation of seven stable intraspecific FAFLP clusters. Most of these clusters contained both (potentially) probiotic strains and isolates of human origin. For each of the clusters, strains of different sources were selected for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of macrorestriction fragments obtained with the enzymes NotI and AscI. Analysis of PFGE data indicated that (i) some (potentially) probiotic strains were indistinguishable from other probiotic strains, suggesting that several companies may use duplicate cultures of the same probiotic strain, and (ii) in a number of cases human isolates from sterile body sites were indistinguishable from a particular probiotic strain, suggesting that some of these isolates may be reisolations of commercial strains.

Starter cultures could play an essential role in the manufacture of traditional cured meat products. In order to achieve objectives related to meat products’ quality and safety improvement, the selection of particular strains constituting a starter culture should be carried out in the context of its application, since its functionality will depend on the type of sausage and process conditions. Also, strain selection should comply with particular requirements to warrant safety. The aim of the current review is to update the knowledge on the use of starter cultures in traditional meat products, with focus on dry-fermented products. In this manuscript, we will try to give answers to some relevant questions: Which starter cultures are used and why? Why are LAB used? What are their role and their specific mode of action? Which other groups of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) are used as starter cultures and how do they act? A particular revision of omics approach regarding starter cultures is made since the use of these techniques allows rapid screening of promising wild strains with desirable functional characteristics, enabling the development of starter cultures better adapted to the meat matrix.

The radical change in the quality of the processed meat raw materials, which does not meet the standards, calls for the necessity to apply biotechnology methods in order to improve the quality and obtain high nutritional and biological value of manufactured products in compliance with the requirements set for functional food. The use of starter cultures to perform biomodification of cattle by-products makes it possible to provide the rationale for the use of low-value secondary meat raw materials in order to expand the manufacturing range and increase the economic efficiency of meat-processing plants. This article aims to, first, review the approaches towards the development of new forms of biologically complete and environmentally safe sources of raw materials to increase the economic efficiency and reduce costs at meat-processing plants of the agro-industrial complex of the Central Black Earth region and, second, to substantiate the selection and purposefully apply bifidobacteria as part of the consortium for biotransformation of proteins of the rumen of farm animals. As a result of the research, the technology of rumen modification was suggested aimed at its further use as part of meat products, primarily, minced convenience meat products. The article data can be used to develop manufacturing formulas at meat-processing plants and also be useful for process engineers and scientists working in the food industry.

The Krushevo sausage and The Vevchani Sausage - lukanec are authentic kinds of traditional sausages in The Republic of Macedonia. These traditional sausages are part of the domestic sausages group and, as such, they have very specific characteristics. They recently entered the world ark of flavours supported by the “Slow Food” organization. The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the leek, in dry condition, as a natural source of nitrates, combined with the starter cultures Bactoferm CS-300 together with SafeProImporous, could produce satisfactory results for making the Krushevo sausage and The Vevchani sausage – lukanec. It has been concluded that, for both types of sausages, the desired color has been reached, without using nitrites which are harmful for our health. The dry leek can be used as a suitable substitute for the chard in powder. The starter cultures helped reaching better sensory characteristics (color of surface and cross section, flavor, scent, texture) of the product, thus getting a traditional product with standardized sensory characteristics and an extended expiry date without using any additives. By using starter cultures and dry leek when producing sausages, practically, the international E-symbols (additives) may be taken out from the label, thus satisfying the needs of the modern consumer. Nowadays, the modern consumers increase the awareness for healthy life, and so they change their diet habits. Having this in mind, they reduce consuming processed meat products or they consume natural processed meat products, which contain less amount of additives. The meat processing companies need to consider using starter cultures and alternative sources of nitrites, thus getting processed meat products with standardized sensory characteristics as well as extended expiry date without using harmful additives.

Milk-containing products occupy a large place in the range of popular products. Replacing milk fat or protein with vegetable fat can reduce the biological value of the product and its organoleptic properties. the effect of direct application starter cultures on raw materials that use functionally necessary ingredients (structure-forming agents, salt, sugar, etc.), food additives (thickeners, stabilizers, preservatives, etc.) and a variety of non-dairy components (non-dairy fats, non-dairy proteins, meat products, fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, nuts, etc.) is ambiguous. The paper deals with the use of homogeneous and combined starter cultures in the production of fermented milk products from natural and normalized milk and milk-containing mixtures with a substitute for milk fat. The introduction of components of plant origin into the product leads to a decrease in the content of milk protein in the mixtures, which in turn leads to the formation of clots with a non-uniform consistency. Slow acid formation in milk-containing mixtures indicates a decrease in milk sugar in them with this type of normalization in fat, relative to the normalized milk according to the classical technology. This pattern was revealed both when using starter cultures on lactic acid thermophilic streptococci, and on combined starter cultures. In this paper, it is proposed to use Streptococcus salivarius subsp in ferments for milk-containing mixtures. thermophilus strain ST-95. The introduction of the ST-95 strain into the starter culture made it possible to obtain from the milk-containing mixture a fermented milk product with well-pronounced organoleptic properties, a stable clot structure and sufficiently high taste properties. The greatest positive effect was obtained on combined ferments.

The increasing demand for functional food is pushing the food industry to innovate the conventional and well-known foods. Producing functional foods, especially with probiotics in meat products, is an intricate and multistage task that involves: the selection of microorganisms with probiotic potential, the identification at strain level, and the evaluation of probiotic strains in the processing of meat products. The resistance to digestion, followed by the successful colonization in the small intestine and the safety are the main criteria used to select and identify (at strain level) a probiotic, as reported in recent studies about the autochthonous microbiota of meat products. Further insertion (as starter culture) in a meat system for fermentation is the simplest approach to obtain a probiotic meat product. Among the innumerous microorganisms naturally found in meat products, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a central role by fitting in both probiotic and meat products processing criteria.

In this study, by comparing the four groups of sausages, namely, CO (without starter culture), LB (with Lactobacillus sakei), LS (with L. sakei 3X-2B + Staphylococcus xylosus SZ-8), and LSS (with L. sakei 3X-2B + S. xylosus SZ-8 + S. carnosus SZ-2), the effects of mixed starter cultures on physical–chemical quality, proteolysis, and biogenic amines (BAs) during fermentation and ripening were investigated. Inoculation of the mixed starter cultures increased the number of lactic acid bacteria and staphylococci in sausages during fermentation and ripening for 0 to 5 days. The L. sakei 3X-2B + S. xylosus SZ-8 + S. carnosus SZ-2 mixed starter accelerated the rate of acid production and water activity reduction of sausages and improved the redness value. Compared with CO, the mixed starter effectively inhibited Enterobacteriaceae. At the end of ripening, the LSS group was approximately 1.25 CFU/g, which was less than the CO group, thereby reducing the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) in the LSS group. The free amino acids in the LS and LSS groups (224.97 and 235.53 mg/kg dry sausage, respectively) were significantly (p < 0.001) higher than that in the CO group (170.93 mg/kg dry sausage). The level of histamine, cadaverine, putrescine, and common BAs showed an opposite trend to the increase of the corresponding precursor amino acid content, which were significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the LS and LSS sausages than in CO. This study showed that L. sakei 3X-2B + S. xylosus SZ-8 + S. carnosus SZ-2 is a potential mixed starter for fermented meat products.

A two-strain starter culture containing Lactobacillus plantarum CIDCA 83114, a potential probiotic strain isolated from kefir grains, and Streptococcus thermophilus CIDCA 321 was tested for the preparation of a fermented milk product. Kluyveromyces marxianus CIDCA 8154, a yeast with immunomodulatory properties was included to formulate a three-strain starter culture. Supernatants of enterohaemorragic Escherichia coli, shiga-toxin–producing strain, along with a two-strain or a three-strain starter culture were included in the medium of Vero-cell surface cultures. The results demonstrated that these combinations of microorganisms antagonize the cytopathic action of shiga toxins. The cell concentration of Lb. plantarum did not decrease during fermentation, indicating that the viability of this strain was not affected by low pH, nor did the number of viable bacteria change during 21 days of storage in either fermented products. The number of viable yeasts increases during fermentation and storage. Trained assessors analyzed the general acceptability of fresh fermented milks and considered both acceptable. The milk fermented with the two-strain starter culture was considered acceptable after two week of storage, while the product fermented with the three-strain starter culture remained acceptable for less than one week. The main changes in sensory attributes detected by the trained panel were in sour taste, milky taste and also in fermented attributes. The correlation between different sensory attributes and acceptability indicated that the panel was positively influenced by milky attributes (taste, odour, and flavour) as well as the intensity of flavour. In conclusion, the two-strain starter culture would be the more promising alternative for inclusion of that potential probiotic lactobacillus in a fermented milk product.
