This culture ensures a unique flavor profile, while giving an excellent color development. Recommended use is for sausage making when producing Northern European style sausages like German Mettwurst and Danish Salami, but it can also be used for Mediterranean style sausages. The culture does not ferment saccharose (sucrose) and it is therefore recommended to use glucose (dextrose) as the carbohydrate source in the mince. Review: Perfect - Always perfect Review: Viable is lo I se and granular - Let's make some sausage. As indicated keep frozen. If it's loose and granular it's still very active even after the expiration date, I've had some in my freezer for over year and all good. DO NOT USE if it's clumpy. As always measure correctly and make sure to mix into the meat throughly 1-2 minutes. ## Features - Fast-Acting Meat Starter Culture – Blends Lactobacillus sakei and Staphylococcus carnosus for medium-to-fast acidification and consistent fermentation between 72-90°F. - Treats Up to 220 lbs of Meat – Includes a single 25g package formulated to process up to 100 kg (220lbs) of meat mince for batch dry-curing. - Essential for Traditional Dry Sausages – Ideal for Northern European and Mediterranean style dry-cured sausages, including German Mettwurst, Danish Salami, summer sausage, and pepperoni. - Enhances Flavor & Color Development – Promotes rapid lactic acid buildup to produce a distinct sour flavor profile while locking in vibrant, natural meat color and food safety. - Easy Viability Testing – Arrives freeze-dried for long shelf life; simply shake the pack before use—if it sounds loose like sand, the live bacteria are alive and ready to ferment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MY0XNRM | | Best Sellers Rank | #744,901 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (191) | | Manufacturer | CHR Hansen | | Product Dimensions | 5.25 x 4.5 x 0.13 inches; 3.2 ounces | | UPC | 015913422955 | | Units | 3520 Ounce | ## Images ![The Sausage Maker Bactoferm F-RM-52 Starter Culture - Treats 220 lbs Meat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-QY8Js1sL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the instructions for making 10lb increments?** A: The package says for every 10lbs of meat use 1/2 tsp of bactoferm. **Q: Is this what you put on the outside of the casing to promote good bacteria?** A: No it is not- this is to produce lactic acid in fermentation and is mixed in the meat. **Q: Do you apply this outside the casing after 2 days?** A: No **Q: When i got the package, the powder was clumped together.
