Račkauskienė, Ieva Rovira Carballido, Jordi Jaime Moreno, Isabel González San José, Mª Luisa Venskutonis, Petras Rimantas 2025-09 Strawberry leaf extract (SLE) was used in dry fermented sausages, “Salchichón”, to enrich them with antioxidants. The effect of SLE on various characteristics was monitored during ripening and storage. SLE had a slight effect on microbiological characteristics; however, the pH after 3, 14, and 21 days was slightly lower (4.51–4.55) in the samples with higher SLE concentration (0.5% + 1% dextrose). Peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values of sausages with SLE and with ascorbic acid (reference antioxidant), at the end of ripening, were similar. SLE acted as a pro-oxidant when the sausage was stored in the light; however, it showed antioxidant activity in the dark and at 50 °C storage conditions. Higher extract concentration reduced redness a* value and increased yellowness b* value in the CIELab colour system. Addition of SLE to dry fermented sausages has no negative effect on the ripening process; however, storage conditions of the final product should be carefully controlled. Sensory analysis of the final product showed that SLE imparts a recognisable herbal odour; however, it did not reduce the overall product acceptability. It may be concluded that SLE may be a promising ingredient for increasing the nutritional quality of fermented sausages. application/pdf https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11267 eng MDPI Effects of Strawberry Leaf Extract on the Quality Characteristics and Oxidation Stability of Dry Fermented Sausage During Ripening and Storage info:eu-repo/semantics/article TEXT RIUBU.
