Chemical Safety and Quality Attributes of Dried Sausage Snacks Stored in Modified Atmosphere by Jagoda Majcherczyk, Ireneusz Maciejaszek, Krzysztof Surówka

“…A sausage snack was produced by air blast drying of cottage sausage, and its safety and quality were investigated during 10-week storage period in a modified atmosphere (20% CO2/80% N2) at 4±1°C and 20±1°C. The results of a sensory and instrumental evaluation of colour and texture showed that significantly greater changes in these parameters were caused by drying the sausage rather than during subsequent storage of the produced snacks. …”
