dc.description.abstractLactobacillus plantarum, Micrococcus aurantiacus, and Pediococcus pentosaceus in different combinations and amounts were used for the production of fermented soudjouck. The effects of starter cultures on total aerobic bacteria, and selected chemical properties of samples were determined. Additionally, the effects of starter culture and packaging on the sensory characteristics of final product were studied. It was found that nitrite and sugar content of samples decreased during ripening, while protein and fat content relatively increased with drying. Mesophilic aerobic bacteria counts increased in the first days of ripening and then decreased, similar trend was also observed for the counts of all three starter cultures. Sensory results showed that reducing amount of starter culture negatively affected and incorporation of glucano delta lactone (GDL) into formula along with starter culture had an adverse effect on the sensory properties. It was demonstrated that vacuum packaging improved the sensory properties; therefore, it should be preferred over normal packaging.
