Different starter culture added groups (Group I: Lactobacillus sake, Staphylococcus xylosus; Group II: Lactobacillus plantarum, Staphylococcus carnosus; Group III: Lactobacillus curvatus, Staphylococcus carnosus, and Staphylococcus xylosus) and control group sausage samples were produced experimentally at two different temperatures (22 and 26 °C). In raw materials and all groups, by the 0th, 2nd, 5th and 7th days of the ripening period, the analysis of HPLC and biogenic amine (tyramine, histamine, cadaverine, putrescine, phenylethylamine, tryptamine, spermine, and spermidine) amounts, microbiological (Lactic acid bacteria, Micrococcus/Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus spp., and moulds-yeasts) and chemical (pH, dry matter, and salt) have been done. During the ripening period, there is no statistical discrepancy (P > 0.05) in terms of biogenic amine amounts, microbiological, and chemical values detected from the sausage samples produced at 26 and 22 °C. However, in both levels of temperature, there is statistical discrepancy (P < 0.001) detected in terms of tyramine, putrescine values and the count of Enterococcus spp. between the starter culture added samples and control group samples. By this study, it has been stated that the ripening temperature does not make any statistical discrepancy (P > 0.05) for all values but the use of starter culture prevents the formation of biogenic amine in Turkish fermented sausages. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
