Para-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate (p-HBIT) formed in yellow mustard following hydrolysis of the glucosinolate, sinalbin, is a natural antimicrobial agent. p-HBIT is not dependably available commercially, and a small amount was synthesized for use in beaker sausage fermentations. For these trials stabilized p-HBIT was used in dry sausage meat batter to reduce the viability of inoculated Escherichia coli O157:H7. A >4 log CFU/g reduction of E. coli O157:H7 was achieved in the beaker sausage containing p-HBIT. For sensory evaluation of fermented sausages containing ≤ 4% (w/w) yellow mustard powder, consumer preference tests were done. Deodorized (deheated) yellow mustard was added at 1,2,3 and 4% (w/w) to dry-fermented sausage and it was found that 3% and 4% mustard negatively affected the flavour, texture and overall acceptability of the fermented sausage. Dry-fermented sausage containing 1% and 2% mustard had a slight change in flavour, texture and overall acceptability.
