  • Title: Dry fermented sausages of Southern Italy: a comparison of free amino acids and biogenic amines between industrial and homemade products.
    Author: Leggio A, Belsito EL, De Marco R, Di Gioia ML, Liguori A, Siciliano C, Spinella M.

    Abstract:
    This paper compares some important parameters and the free amino acid and biogenic amine contents of cured industrial and homemade meat products. To this aim, industrial and homemade "soppressata" and "salsiccia", typical dry fermented sausages produced in Southern Italy, were analyzed. The homemade sausages showed a higher level of free biogenic amines than that manufactured industrially, most likely because biogenic amine formation in industrial products is limited by the use of starter cultures. The industrial sausages are characterized by a higher total free amino acid content than the homemade products. Overall, free amino acid and biogenic amine contents demonstrated that appreciable differences exist between homemade and industrial sausages.
