ABSTRACT



The effect of an addition of citric acid, isoascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate and tocopherol on redox changes was analyzed in the lipid fraction of vacuum stored Slaska type sausage. It was observed that the kind of additive and storage time of the product had a statistically significant effect on all analyzed indexes. The lowest value of the redox potential was found for the sample with the highest addition of isoascorbic acid, but the lowest amounts of sodium ascorbate and citric acid. Moreover, statistically significant correlations were recorded between nitrite residue and pH–value and between nitrite residue and redox potential.

Key words: antioxidants, additives, redox, potential, vacuum packaging, sausage, storage.
