ABSTRACT


The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of selected functional blends on shelf life of model meat products. Analyses showed that total microbial counts in functional blends did not have a significant effect on the variation of infection in case of sausages produced with their addition. However, in comparison to reference products sausages with a share of analyzed blends exhibited a significantly shorter shelf life. The presence of blends in sausages had a significant effect on the course of lipid changes and contributed to the acceleration of oxidation processes during sausage storage. Obtained results may be useful when determining admissible shelf life of sausages produced with an addition of analyzed functional blends.

Key words: functional blends, shelf life, sausages, quality, additives.
