Use of a starter for the manufacture of French dried sausage.

Abstract

Bearing in mind the insufficiency of commercialized starters for the manufacture of french dried sausage, a starter (Micrococci and Lactobacilli) named Lyoflore was perfected and tested during ten months in three factories. The results obtained show the value of this additif: acceleration in maturity, rapid acidification, inhibition of undesirable bacteria, very good colouring and excellent organoleptic qualities of the finished product.
