Sucuk is a fermented sausage widely consumed in Turkey. The ability of different concentrations of nisin to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus in artificially contaminated sucuk was examined. Sucuk dough was prepared, inoculated with S. aureus ATCC 25923 at a level of 106 CFU/g, and then divided into six equal portions to which different concentrations of nisin (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 μg/g) were added. Microbiological (S. aureus, total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria) and physicochemical (pH, water activity, and moisture) analyses were conducted initially and after 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 45 days. S. aureus populations decreased to below detectable limits in sucuk containing 200 or 150 μg of nisin per g after 30 and 35 days of storage, respectively, whereas S. aureus populations in 45-day-old sucuk containing 0, 25, 50, and 100 μg of nisin per g were 5.36, 5.68, 4.10, and 3.54 log CFU/g, respectively. Hence, the addition of nisin at 150 μg/g or greater to sucuk dough can be used to prevent the growth of S. aureus in sucuk during fermentation and subsequent storage.

In 1977, a number of staphylococcal intoxications occurred as a result of several lots of Swiss-type cheese being contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus. Blocks of cheese representing 59 of the recalled lots manufactured between January 5 and April 25, 1977, were examined for S. aureus counts and for staphylococcal thermonuclease (TNase), enterotoxin and pH. Counts ranged from <25 to 108 S. aureus/g, with most blocks containing between 104 and 106/g. Enterotoxin B was present in 72.6% of 186 samples and TNase in 52.5% of 122 samples tested. The pH was generally between 5.5 and 5.7 with some samples as high as 6.2; normal pH for Swiss-type cheese is 5.7. Variations in levels of these parameters occurred within lots and even within blocks, as well as between lots. Within blocks there seemed to be differences between samples at the center and the periphery. The activity and degree of contamination of the starter cultures, temperatures of cooking and ripening and the speed of salt penetration could be factors causing these variations. TNase was not detectable in all samples containing enterotoxin, especially those with <0.5 μg/100 g. Therefore, cheese suspected of being a health hazard, such as being manufactured under unsanitary conditions or suspected of being contaminated with S. aureus, should be sampled at the center and periphery of blocks, if these are available, and analyzed for S. aureus counts, TNase and enterotoxin.

ABSTRACT The microbial ecology of “soppressata of Vallo di Diano,” a traditional dry fermented sausage from southern Italy, was studied by using both culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches. The ripened fermented sausages were characterized by high microbial loads of both staphylococci and lactobacilli. Using PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) targeting the variable V3 and V1 regions of the 16S rRNA gene and direct DNA sequencing, it was possible to identify Staphylococcus xylosus, S. succinus, and S. equorum among the staphylococci and Lactobacillus sakei and L. curvatus within the lactobacilli. Moreover, Debaryomyces hansenii was the main yeast species found by targeting the yeast 26S rRNA gene by PCR-DGGE. Selected strains of S. xylosus, L. sakei, and L. curvatus were characterized for their technological properties in the ripening conditions of the fermented sausages so as to select an autochthonous starter formulation. The selection included the determination of nitrate reductase, lipolytic, and antioxidant activity and proteolysis with myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein fractions. Such properties were evaluated in both in vitro and in situ assays; the latter were performed by using each strain as a starter in the laboratory-scale manufacture of soppressata of Vallo di Diano and by monitoring the microbiological and chemical changes at the end of ripening. The results show differences between the in vitro and in situ selection results and indicate that in situ evaluation of the technological performance of specific strains is better suited to selecting autochthonous starter cultures for fermented-meat products than in vitro evaluation.

The effects of different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the fermentation rates and qualities of moo som, a traditional Thai fermented pork, were evaluated. Lactobacillus plantarum KL102 (spontaneous starter) and L. plantarum TISIR543 (commercial starter) were used as starter cultures in the production of moo som. The decreased amounts of Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms in moo som inoculated with L. plantarum KL102 were at faster rates than those in Moo som inoculated with L. plantarum TISIR543. However, the final products of moo som inoculated with both LAB starters did not find S. aureus or and coliform loadings. Inoculation of both LAB starters could control growth of yeast in samples during fermentation. Furthermore, both starter cultures exhibited a higher rate of fermentation than the control (without inoculum), as demonstrated by the faster rate pH drop and acid production (p < 0.05) during fermentation, while the fermentation of all samples were completed within 3 d. Due to higher acid production rate, texture, and especially hardness, gumminess and chewiness of inoculated moo som were higher than control moo som in the final products (p < 0.05). From the results, the inoculation of LAB starter was more beneficial in color and in overall sensory evaluation (p < 0.05). The overall quality was positively correlated with the color, odor, and texture of moo som (p < 0.01). Based on microbiological and physicochemical qualities and sensory evaluation, KL102 is a potential LAB starter for moo som production.
