Notes:
Pork and mutton sausage-type mixes produced using Eubacterium coprostanoligenes with or without Lactobacillus as starter culture showed changes in pH, cholesterol and lipid content. Viability of E. coprostanoligenes was assessed by culturing samples from each treatment and analyzing for coprostanol, a cholesterol metabolite. The pH and/or cholesterol decreased (P 〈 0.05) in the sausage-type mixes inoculated with E. coprostanoligenes or Lactobacillus or their combinations. Variability in lipid content was observed among and within treatments. Very low (6.2 μg/g dry matter) concentrations of coprostanol were produced in sausage-mixes and cultures except when inoculated with 2.0 g of E. coprostanoligenes (from 8.2 to 130.6 μg/g dry matter).
