...color intensity, optimum acidity levels, increased water holding capacity, and reduced drip and cooking losses compared to 1% water Kefir and the control one. In conclusion, Water Kefir was preferred to be used in the fermented sausage as it not only enriched the flavor and texture of the sausages but also decreased total bacterial, total psychrotrophic, and total mycotic counts, enhanced the physicochemical characteristics, sensory qualities, and overall stan...

...lue, production of total acidity, and CO2. The results revealed that the LAB isolates produced an amount of lactic acid from 6.84 to 28.28 mg/mL with a pH value of 3.38 to 6.19. Most LAB isolates form CO2 from glucose, suggesting that these LAB perform hetero-lactic fermentation. Approximately 78% of LAB exhibited multidrug-resistant strains with various resistance patterns. Moreover, 14 of 18 LAB isolates with a multiple antibiotic resistance index above the ...
