“…According to Campagnol et al (2011a), the seasoning has a strong influence on the final results of salami with low sodium content. According to our study, an alternative would be a small addition of chloride salts to be used as replacements (0.25 % each) combined with other technologies, namely greater flavoring (spices such as onion, garlic, cumin, paprika and others), new more proteolytic starter cultures (Leroy and De Vuyst, 2004), monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate and amino acids (lysine and taurine) (Santos et al, 2014;Campagnol et al, 2011a;Campagnol et al, 2012), and yeast extract (Campagnol et al, 2011b). This could reduce Na content in salami but still yield a product with only 10 g NaCl kg −1 of sample, which is acceptable to consumers at a relatively low cost.…”
