Abstract
The effects of C. sappan L. extract on oxidative stability, microbiological quality, and color attributes in sausages were examined. Pork sausages were prepared for four treated groups: control (without antioxidant), T1 (added with 0.007% sodium nitrite), T2 (added with 0.1% C. sappan L.), and T3 (added with 0.0035% sodium nitrite+0.1% C. sappan L.). T3 showed lower L. monocytogenes count than that saw in the control and T2 (p < 0.05). T2 had lower E. coli counts than those of T1 (p < 0.05). Inclusion of the 0.1% C. sappan L. in sausages resulted in lower lightness and higher redness compared with control (p < 0.05). T3 had the highest DPPH free radical scavenging ability followed by T2 (p < 0.05). T2 decreased lipid oxidation and had values similar to those of T1 (p < 0.05). Moreover, T2 had the highest thiol content with sausages at 2 and 4 weeks (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 0.1% C. sappan L. extracts exhibited the effectiveness in antioxidant performance, antimicrobial qualities, and color consistency in cooked pork sausages during storage.
