Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of reformulation of Turkish dry fermented beef sausage (sucuk) by replacing nitrite with beetroot powder (BP), which has high nitrate content, on some quality characteristics of the product during storage at 4â¯Â°C for 84â¯days. Four different sausage formulations were produced containing C:150â¯mg/kg sodium nitrite; BS1:100â¯mg/kg sodium nitrite and 0.12% BP; BS2:50â¯mg/kg sodium nitrite and 0.24% BP and BS3: 0.35% BP. The inclusion of BP increased a* value of samples and resulted in the protection of the desired red color during storage. There was no significant difference between the residual nitrite contents of the samples at the end of the storage period. The lactic acid bacteria count was highest in BS3. Suggested storage periods for BS2 and BS3 samples were 56â¯days by taking into consideration the TBARS value. Sensory evaluation scores of samples with BP were comparable to those of C during storage.
