Notes:
Fish sausage from minced Spanish mackerel was formulated to aw of 097–0.92 using egg white solids alone and in combination with nonfat dry milk, alginate and soy protein isolate, without and with nitrite added at 150 ppm. The batter was inoculated with PA 3679 spores at ca. 105/g, chopped, stuffed in casing, cooked to a core temperature of 85°C, vacuum-packaged and stored at 25°C for 60 days. The test organism did not reproduce in formulations having aw 〈 0.95. Total counts decreased rapidly and spore counts were nil at the end of storage. Spores of PA 3679 germinated at aw as low as 0.924 but the cells failed to grow. Products with aw 〉 0.95 spoiled. Product stability was influenced by aw regardless of binder type and presence of nitrite.
