Research Summary

Meat starter culture refers to a microorganism culture that is intentionally added to meat products during the fermentation process to aid in desirable microbial growth and initiate the fermentation process. These cultures typically consist of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus species, which play a key role in the fermentation of meat products. The starter culture helps to lower the pH of the meat, enhance flavor development, improve texture, and increase the shelf life of the final product. The LAB in the starter culture convert sugars present in the meat into lactic acid through fermentation, creating an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. This controlled fermentation process not only contributes to the unique taste and aroma of fermented meat products but also helps to improve their safety and extend their shelf life by inhibiting the growth of pathogens. Meat starter cultures are carefully selected and used in specific ratios to achieve desired characteristics and ensure consistent and reliable fermentation results in meat processing.
