Probiotic fermented sausages: Myth or reality?

چکیده
Experts view the development of functional foods as an opportunity for innovation for the meat industry in line with consumers’ concerns on food nutrition, well being and food safety. The main microbiota of fermented sausages consists of lactobacilli, which suggests that properly characterized strains could be selected as starter cultures. The selection of strains from human origin was considered in order to promote their survival in the host. Lactobacillus rhamnosus CTC1679 dominated during the ripening process and temporarily colonized the gastrointestinal tract of healthy volunteers, confirming that this strain could be delivered as a potential probiotic in fermented sausages. © 2015 The Authors.

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from infant faeces as potential probiotic starter cultures for fermented sausages.
A total of 109 lactic acid bacteria isolated from infant faeces were identified by partial 16S rRNA, cpn60 and/or pheS sequencing. Lactobacillus was the most prevalent genus, representing 48% of the isolates followed by Enterococcus (38%). Lactobacillus gasseri (21%) and Enterococcus faecalis (38%) were the main species detected. A further selection of potential probiotic starter cultures for f...
متن کاملEvaluation of Physicochemical, Sensorial and Microbiological Attributes of Fermented Camel Sausages
Probiotic fermented sausages are safe and healthy meat products. Semi-dry fermented sausages were manufactured from camel meat inoculated with Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus paracasei and control. All treatments were analyzed for the physico-chemical characteristics (Protein, Moisture, Fat, Ash, Lactic acid value and pH), microbiological features (total aerobic, total mold and yeast...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fermented Sausages Manufactured with Reduced-fat and Functional Starter Cultures on Physicochemical, Functional and Flavor Characteristics
Fermented foods with probiotics having functional properties may provide beneficial effects on health. These effects are varied, depending on the type of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Different probiotic LAB might have different functional properties. Thus, this study was performed to evaluate the quality of fermented sausages manufactured with functional starter cultures (Lactobacillus plantarum...
متن کاملBacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus sakei C2 as starter culture infermented sausages
Lactobacillus sakei C2, which could produce a bacteriocin with a broad inhibitory spectrum, have been proven to have certain probiotic potential. The practical application of L. sakei C2 as starter culture in the production of fermented sausage was investigated. During the sausage fermentation, L. sakei C2 established its prominent position in the microbial ecosystem, and, over 62.5% and 87.5% ...
متن کاملThe potential probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus CTC1679 survives the passage through the gastrointestinal tract and its use as starter culture results in safe nutritionally enhanced fermented sausages.
The human-derived potential probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus CTC1679 was used as a starter culture in reduced fat and sodium low-acid fermented sausages (fuets) to assess its ability to survive through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in a human intervention study consisting of 5 healthy volunteers who consumed 25 g fuet a day for 21 days. Faecal samples were analysed during and after c...
