Traditional methods of fermented sausage production are extremely time consuming. However, there is a new innovative help a accelerates the process by drying the sausage slices after fermentation namely Quick-Dry-Slice process (QDS process®).
Increasing the temperature and time of manufacture fermented sausages dry is not always desirable due to the resulting flavor and texture changes, varying from a raw fermented flavor. Therefore, the aim of this work was to determine the effect produced by heating at 53 °C for different times at the end of the fermentation step on some physicochemical parameters and sensory attributes of salami and chorizo dried by QDS process®
