Abstract To explore the efficacy of red beetroot and radish powder substitution to nitrite salt in oriental sausage, four groups of sausage were processed. Frist group N (100ppm of Sodium nitrite), 2nd group BR (0.065% beetroot powder), 3rd group R (0.065% radish powder) and 4th group NBR (0.065% beetroot powder+100 ppm Sodium nitrite), and kept frozen at -18{u2103}. Sensory, physicochemical, nitrite residue and bacterial analysis were performed immediately after production and at monthly interval for 3 months. The achieved result revealed that addition of vegetable powder significantly improves sausage sensorial and instrumental color through whole storage time, while other sensory characteristics are not affected. Residual nitrite in NBR is significantly lower than N group at zero time, while at the end of storage N group showed lower nitrite residue than NBR group. Sodium nitrite and beetroot powder treated group revealed positive antimicrobial activity than that of radish powder. Beetroot and radish powder considered as good and stable colorant with more investigation is required to explore their nitrite substitution in oriental sausage |
