shows the changes in these parameters in dry fermented sausages. After a quick drop during fermentation, the final
pH of sausages was approximately 5.2, which allowed a correct texture
development in the product. In relation to aw, initial values (0.97)
steadily fell to approximately 0.83–0.85 in the final product. No significant
differences (P N 0.05) were found among batches for all these parameters
and no changes were observed after 30 days of storage .
