Counteracting the effect of reducing nitrate/nitrite levels on dry fermented sausage aroma by Debaryomyces hansenii inoculation
The reduction of ingoing amounts of nitrate and nitrite in dry fermented sausages was studied together with the impact of Debaryomyces hansenii inoculation on aroma generation. Three different formulations of sausages were manufactured: control (C), reduced in nitrate and nitrite ingoing amounts (R) and reduced R inoculated with D. hansenii (RY). Changes in physicochemical and microbiological parameters, volatile compounds and aroma were investigated at different drying times. Nitrite/nitrate reduction did not seem to affect microbial growth but affected their metabolic activity. Moreover, nitrite/nitrate reduction decreased lipid oxidation and generation of derived volatile compounds. Yeast inoculation limited lipid oxidation and prevented nitrite oxidation. Sausage aroma profile was positively affected by D. hansenii inoculation which contributed to the generation of potent aroma compounds like ethyl ester compounds and 3-methylbutanal. Long drying time impacted sausage aroma profile as well as yeast metabolism. Yeast inoculation counteracted the negative influence of nitrite/nitrate reduction due to its antioxidant capacity, aroma generation and hindered nitrite oxidation.
