It ‘been optimized a method based on the use of automated microbiological MicroFoss system.
The calibration line constructed, presented an high correlation coefficient and is therefore helpful
in order for the quantification of lactic bacteria in the sausage business. The results obtained
demonstrated the high presence of LAB and consequently a good salamis fermentation process.
Automation offers a number of undeniable advantages over traditional methods. The MicroFoss is
an automated tool and as such limits the operator intervention and can handle several samples simultaneously.
It is simple to understand and to use system that allows short analysis times, shorter
than the traditional method. In fact the results are obtained within 14 hours against 24-48 hours
compared to traditional method.
