Notes:
During ripening of dry sausage, disappearance of carbohydrates and production of lactate, volatile fatty acids, pyruvate and carbonyls was followed. When expressed as mmoles/100g of dry matter, carbohydrate disappearance (ca. 10 mmoles/100g dry matter) could be accounted for by production of lactate (ca. 17 mmoles) and acetate (ca. 2 mmoles) in two similar experiments. No differences were observed due to the presence of a starter culture in one experiment. In a third experiment, carbohydrate disappearance (ca. 16 mmoles) could only partly be accounted for by lactate (ca. 19 mmoles) and acetate (ca. 2 mmoles) production. Oxidative dissimilation of carbohydrates by micrococci during the early stages of ripening in the third experiment is offered as possible explanation.
