Analysis of production process was carried out at five meat industries. There were determined content of water, lipids, proteins, NaCl, ash, nitrites and also pH and water activity values at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of process. The results of chemical components analyses of Sremska were uniform, while in Sudžuk sausages showed great variations. However, both types of products in all examined meat industries were in an agreement with Serbian legislation for dry fermented sausages. The results of water activity and pH values showed that sausages can be considered as microbiologically stable products during whole production process. ER -
