What is Meat Starter Cultures?
Starters is known as microbial cultures which is mainly used to promote and conduct the fermentation of products. Meat starter culture is known as adding sustainable microorganisms to meat to encourage microbiological quality and it creates colour, flavour and texture of meat products. Starter Culture are prepare by using composition of bacteria and fungi. Mainly lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are used for preparation of starter culture. This starter culture are able to produce ample amount of good natural bacteria in the meat during the fermentation stage. This good bacteria help to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria which may affect meat quality. Meat starter cultures comprises of maturation starters and surface starters which are used in preparation of fresh ground meats, cooked meats, dry and semi-cured meats and sausages. Lactic acid starter culture is provide flavour to the meat and it act as preservative. Meat cultures provide distinctive features to boiled meat products to increase their shelf life. They useful for preservation, manage their taste, control of its hygiene, maintain and improve quality with desirable qualities. Starter cultures are helps to restore back the essential nutritional characteristics which enhance the taste.
