The influence of Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida utilis on the aroma formation in garlic spiced fermented sausages and model minces
The influence of the yeast starter cultures Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida utilis on fermented meat aroma was studied in model minces and in commercial-type fermented sausages. Volatile compounds from model minces and sausages were collected using diffusive and dynamic headspace sampling respectively and were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
A triangle test was carried out on the sausages to detect whether the yeast influenced the sausage odour. C. utilis demonstrated high metabolic activity in the model minces, producing several volatile compounds, in particularly esters. C. utilis also seemed to ferment the amino acids valine, isoleucine and leucine into compounds important for the aroma of sausages.
D. hansenii on the contrary, had very little effect on the production of volatile compounds in the model minces. In the sausage experiment both yeast cultures died out before the ripening process ended and the sensory analysis showed only a slight difference between the sausages. A fungistatic test of the garlic powder added to the sausages indicated that garlic inhibits the growth of the yeast starter cultures.
