Quality characteristics of high salt fermented fish sauce (budu) produced using autochthonous Virgibacillus halodenitrificans PS21 and Staphylococcus simulans PMRS35

This study evaluated the effects of autochthonous starters on the quality characteristics of budu. The effects of individual or combined inoculation of Virgibacillus halodenitrificans PS21 and Staphylococcus simulans PMRS35 were compared to those of non‐inoculation during 150 days of budu production. The starters directly affected characteristics of budu with browner colour and enhanced proteolysis and lipolysis as indicated by degree of...
