摘要：This study puts a focus on the influence of microbial in situ heteropolysaccharide (HePS) formation on the quality of raw fermented sausages (salami). Since exopolysaccharide‐production is often triggered by sub‐optimal growth conditions, the influence of different fermentation temperatures was also investigated. For this reason, the sausage batter was inoculated with ( Lactobacillus plantarum TMW 1.1478) or without ( L. sakei TMW 1.2037; control) a HePS‐producing starter culture (inoculation concentration ~10 8 CFU/g), and the sausages fermented at either 10, 16, or 24°C (7 days), followed by a drying period at 14°C until the final weight loss of 31% was reached. Microbial growth, pH, and weight loss development were monitored and the products further characterized using texture profile analysis and a sensory test. HePS in the salami matrix were determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy and a semi‐quantitative data interpretation approach. Sausages containing L. plantarum were found to be significantly ( p < .05) softer compared with control samples, which was also confirmed in the sensory analysis. The different fermentation temperatures had an influence on the drying speed. Here, sausages produced with L. plantarum needed more time to reach the final weight loss of 31% as compared to control samples, which could be attributed to the presence of exopolysaccharides in the matrix ( p < .05). Using HePS‐forming starter cultures in raw fermented sausage manufacturing can lead to products with a softer texture (undesired in Europe) depending on the strain and processing conditions used, highlighting the importance of a suitable starter culture selection in food processing.
