Physiochemical, Microbiological and Organoleptic Evaluation of Market Sausage Samples
Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate physiochemical, microbiological and organoleptic properties of some meat products such as sausage. These samples were collected from local market at Mansoura city to determine its validity for human consumption and its agreement with Egyptian standards. Results indicated that cholesterol content of different examined sausage samples ranged from 75.10 to 100.7mg /100 gm. Also, high price sausage samples had higher cholesterol content when compared with low price sausage samples. Significant differences (P< 0.05) were recorded in some chemical properties (total volatile nitrogen TVN and thiobarbituric acid TBA) and physicochemical properties (pH-value and color intensity) between examined sausage samples. Total volatile nitrogen (TVN) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) of different examined sausage samples ranged from 15.19 to 21.77 mg/100gm and 0.589 to 0.879 mg malonaldhyde/kg sample, respectively. The highest plasticity values were recorded for high price sausage samples. Microbiological examination showed the presence of different bacterial count of coliform, Staphylococcus sp., fungi, Listeria sp. and Brucella sp. as well as total bacterial count. Results of organoleptic evaluation indicated that, high price sausage samples (S1 and S3) had significantly higher overall acceptability scores (8.075 ± 0.13 and 8.175 ± 0.12, respectively) when compared with low price sausage samples (S2 and S4) being 7.325 ± 0.18 and 7.225 ± 0.16, respectively.
