Popis: | Physicochemical parameters, microbiota, and sensory profile of 13 samples of ‘Nduja, a typical sausage from Calabria, Southern Italy, were determined. The chemical composition is characterized by a wide variability, confirming the differences between the producers' recipes. A common feature is the presence of fibers and sugars due to the addition of pepper (about 25%). The presence of sugars in the ripened product confirms that the fermentations were incomplete, as evidenced by the low counts of lactic acid bacteria and coagulase negative cocci. No spoilage bacteria were found. It has been verified that the pepper limit microbial growth, lowering pH and Aw in the mixture, so that Nduja may be considered a meat preserve, not a fermented sausage. Total biogenic amines content was |
