The invention discloses a
Staphylococcus edaphicus H3, the preservation number of the
Staphylococcus edaphicus H3 in Guangdong Microbial Culture Collection Center is GDMCC No: 64958, the strain H3 is applied to
fermentation of meat products without
nitrite, the
Staphylococcus edaphicus H3 can promote color development of the meat products, and the Staphylococcus edaphicus H3 has relatively strong
oxidation resistance, can effectively inhibit
lipid peroxidation, and can be used for preparing the meat products. The
staphylococcus aureus H3 can produce
polysaccharide, the
polysaccharide also plays an anti-oxidation role in a meat
product processing process and is beneficial to maintenance of meat color, the strain H3 is inoculated to ferment sausages, the
nitrite content in the sausages is obviously reduced, the
hardness, cohesiveness, elasticity and
chewiness of the sausages are improved, the taste of the sausages is richer, the delicate
flavor is increased, and the sausages are more delicious. The strain H3 has no blood coagulation and
hemolysis effects, is safe and reliable as a
food additive, and is suitable for industrial production and market popularization and application.
