Starter live cultures meat and fish
Sacco System offers lactic acid bacteria for the production of all products in the food supply chain, specifically for the meat and fish sectors, the dairy industry (butter, hard, semi-hard, and soft cheeses, stretched curd and mozzarella, yogurt, and fermented milk), as well as for vegetables (olives, gherkins, and sauerkraut) and functional foods.
Lyocarni is a line of “Made in Italy” starter and protective cultures that ensure product safety while preserving its authenticity. The primary role of the starter culture is to control the production process by inhibiting microbiota growth and ensuring proper product maturation. Starter cultures are beneficial bacteria and are essential for producing safe, uniform, and preservable cured meats. They enhance food safety, ensure a consistent production process, and provide stability throughout the shelf life.
The bacteria most commonly used in the production of cured meats are staphylococci and lactic acid bacteria.
The use of staphylococci enhances the vibrant color of the meat, prevents oxidation and rancidity, and intensifies the aroma. Lactic acid bacteria facilitate the maturation and drying of the product.
