Product Description
What are starter cultures for sausages?
Starter cultures are freeze-dried bacteria that you use in making your own dry sausages such as chorizo, fuet, salami and countless other dry sausages. They provide safety by acidifying your meat (i.e. lowering the pH) and they give your sausages their distinctive cured and ripened flavor. You always use them together with nitrite salt (curing salt), dextrose and sometimes nitrates. They roughly come in 3 variants: fast, medium fast and slow. F-LC is recommended for the production of all types of fermented sausages. Depending on fermentation temperature, acidification is either traditional, fast or extra fast.
What are bioprotective cultures
Bioprotective cultures provide extra safety because they contain micro-organisms that, in addition to fermenting your sausages, work forcefully against pathogens. These cultures are of particular interest to the home producer who lacks access to tools to measure pH or other labequipement. The Bactoferm SafePro ® range covers startercultures that help develop a positive eco-system t hat will improve food safety and/ or potentially extend shelf life.
About Bactoferm Safepro F-LC
SafePro® F-LC is a starter culture that provides a well rounded mediterranean flavor combined with optimal Listeria prevention in fermented meat products. The culture provides a reliable acidification and a good flavor and color development. Applicable at a wide temperature range. Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus curvatus give a controlled, moderate pH-drop with a mild acidification flavor. The used Staphylococcus xylosus gives good color formation and stability and a very round and mild flavor. Low fermentation temperature (<25º C) results in traditional acidification profiles whereas high fermentation temperature (35-45º C) gives a US style product.
The bacteria in this starter produce ‘bacteriocins’, which can be seen as ‘antibiotics’ attacking dangerous competitors like Listeria monocytogenes. This starter culture is used frequently in Marianski & Marianski’s The Art of Making Fermented Sausages.
