noted that the microbiological
stability during the later stage is primarily achieved by
lowering the aw value, and therefore, the low aw values of the sausage
samples treated with kimchi-powder may induce a synergistic effect
in the interaction of a series of hurdles comprised in sequence during
processing, leading to their microbial stability. As a result, it is assumed
that the use of kimchi-powder as an additive for fermented sausage
could lead to an additional hurdle effect along with useful LAB and antimicrobial
compounds.
