Özet:

Bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by Gluconacetobacter sp. A06O2 strain was used as a fat replacer insucuk (Turkish dry fermented sausage) and effect on some quality characteristics of sucukwas investigated in the present study. Moisture and protein contents of sucuk samples increased withdecreasing fat levels and increasing BC levels. While the addition of BC affected hardness value, it didnot affect gumminess and chewiness values of sucuk samples. Reducing fat content caused increasingof a and b values and decreasing of L value (P > 0.05). No significant differences were observed inodour, color, texture, flavor and overall acceptability between samples. The results indicated that BCcould be used as fat replacer in the production of reduced fat dry fermented sausages
