“…In general, the final pH of the fermented sausages in several countries is highly variable, with an average value of approximately 5.0 (Samelis et al, 1994;Lorenzo et al, 2000;Ansorena et al, 2002;Fanco et al, 2002;Comi et al, 2005;Drosinos et al, 2005;Greco et al, 2005;Dalla Santa et al, 2006;Lebert et al, 2007;Holko et al, 2013). In this study, the final pH value of the sausages for all the treatments was approximately 4.5, which is less than the average value reported in the literature.…”
