In order to improving the food safety of Chinese fermented sausages,
Lactobacillus sakei as starter cultures was inoculated into sausages and effects on qualities of sausages were studied.
The results clearly demonstrated that due to L. sakei inoculation, lactic acid bacteria rapidly dominated the total of microflora and the growth of food-borne pathogens, such as Escherichia coli and Enterobacteriaceae, was completely inhibited during sausages fermentation.
