The invention belongs to the technical field of food, and particularly relates to a making process of a low-salt
nitrate-free shallow fermented sausage. The production process of the low-salt
nitrate-free shallow fermented sausage comprises the following steps: (1) pretreatment of raw materials and auxiliary materials:
raw material meat comprises fresh pig hind leg meat and pig
back fat meat, the pig hind leg meat is shredded, the fat meat is
cut into diced meat, and the diced meat is uniformly mixed for later use; the special auxiliary material for the shallow fermented sausage comprises the following raw materials: thick broad-bean sauce, fermented soya beans, fermented glutinous rice and fermented bean curd. (2) sausage filling: uniformly mixing the
raw material meat and special auxiliary materials for shallow fermented sausages to obtain pickled stuffing; filling the pickled stuffing into casings to obtain the sausages of which the surfaces are dried by air; (3) performing
fermentation: performing air-
drying fermentation on the sausages of which the
water vapor on the surfaces is air-dried; and then performing vacuum packaging, and performing maturing and storage to obtain the low-salt
nitrate-free shallow fermented sausage. The sausage prepared by the method can balance the
water activity, the pH value and TBA, and the quality of the product can be ensured while the
flavor is ensured.
