Abstract
Large salami such as Milano style with excellent quality and safety ca n be produced by limiting the amount of sugar, using actively fermenti ng Lactobacillus plantarum and seeding the surface with deacidifying m ould. Limiting the amount of sugar, while permitting rapid acidificati on, controls the final pH. This inhibits undesirable bacteria includin g pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. Mould growth on the surface of the salami increases pH during curing to enhance quality.
