The mum sausages manufactured by the traditional processing
method (process I, stored at 30 C until day 14) had lower moisture
contents which resulted in tough textures and they could not
be consumed after 14 days of storage. By contrast, samples produced
using an innovative method (process II, fermented at
30 C until day 3, vacuum-packaged, and then stored at 4 C until
day 28) had better and more consistent qualities. For better qualities
and extended shelf-life concerns, mum sausages should be
manufactured by this new method. Further studies regarding the
microbial and flavour profiles and safety of sausages when applying
this innovative method should also be addressed
