Processing baby sausages

The secret to making delicious, healthier sausages is more likely . child stool, according to a new study.

A group of Spanish scientists have discovered the amazing effect of useful bacteria commonly found in child stools, with the production of sausages. This proves that, sometimes the secret ingredient of a better good dish should not be revealed.

For centuries, cultures around the world have relied on microorganisms to help create a variety of products and drinks. The most typical example is the use of fermented bacteria and fungi to produce wine, beer, cheese or melon, salted coffee. Many types of sausages are also prepared with the help of fermenting bacteria, giving this food a distinct aroma and in many cases, both delicious and attractive red.

According to experts, fermented sausages are made from a mixture of minced meat, salt, sugar, spices and stabilizers stuffed into the cover. They are usually fermented by naturally occurring bacteria in raw meat or by bacteria that are intentionally added during processing. Lactic acid produced by fermenting bacteria, along with the dry state of meat will inhibit the spread of pathogens that also damage sausages.

In the past few years, scientists have discovered that probiotics that are present in human intestines are good for their health. Spanish researchers believe that these probiotics can also be used as fermented sausages .

The team collected 43 fecal samples from healthy babies, from birth to 6 months of age, and extracted three of the most commonly used probiotic strains. These strains are more common in children than in adults.

The researchers then created six batches of sausages, using three strains of probiotics collected in child stools and three other commercial strains. Volunteers who tasted all six batches of sausages did not detect any difference in their taste with other conventional processed sausages.

The team also found that only one of the six bacterial strains used became the most existing and dominant microorganisms inside sausages. This strain of bacteria is the type extracted from child stools.

Researchers are excited with their discovery. However, there are still no companies that are interested in mass production of sausage from children like them.
