The invention discloses a
fermentation agent and the application method for
processing low
histamine salami sausage, comprising the followings: 1. The selected strains of
fermentation agent are CGMCCNo.1923-
pediococcus pentosaceus and CGMCCNo.1572-
staphylococcus xylosus both without
decarboxylase activity; 2. The matching proportion between the CGMCCNo.1923-
pediococcus pentosaceus and the CGMCCNo.1572-
staphylococcus xylosus is 1:1; 3. The
fermentation agent dosage of the
pediococcus pentosaceus and the
staphylococcus xylosus are 100kg respectively every 100g of mince when
processing, the inoculated-
pathogen quantity can be up to 1 x 10<7>cfu / g. The adding method is as follow: to make fermentation liquid by mixing the
pediococcus pentosaceus fermentation agent and the
staphylococcus xylosus fermentation agent with equal ratio and being dissolved in 500g water, spread the fermentation liquid uniformly on the mix mince surface, and mix the mince and the fermentation liquid thoroughly; 4. The preserved preparation used is as follow: the
mass ratio to the material mince is salt 3.0%, glucose 1.5%,
sodium nitrite 0.015%, and
ascorbic acid 0.08%; 5. Using the fermentation agent, preserved preparation and
processing technology, the
histamine content of salami product is reduced by more than 40% and meets with the food
histamine content limitation requirement of the European Union. The invention is tested according to the regulated hygienic standards of cured meat products in the GB2730-2005 hygienic standard for cured meat products, the hygienic state of products meets with the standard, the product
flavor and the hygienic safety are better than the traditional technologic product evidently. The invention has the advantages of good application prospect in the aspects of quality improvement and new product development of salami products.
