Each of the mixture batches was stuffed into natural pork casings
and the fuets obtained were dipped into a solution of Penicillium
candidum spores (CHOOZIT™ Cheese Cultures, Danisco). Ripening of
sausages took place at 11 °C and 70–80% relative humidity for 14 days
in a pilot plant controlled room for batch 1 fuet, while the fuets inoculated
with pathogens (batch 2) were ripened in a 294 l versatile environmental
test chamber MLR-350 H (Sanyo electric Co., Ora-Gun, Japan).
