The initial water activity (aw) values of the dry fermented sausages varied from 0.896, 0.872, 0.884 for LFKG, LFK10 and LFK20 samples, respectively, to the lowest (P < 0.05) value (0.856) for the control sausage (NF). These aw values are within the normal range described for this fermented product (Herrero et al., 2007). No significant differences were observed during the storage.
