Abstract
A method for rapidly developing a red color in fermented meat using Streptococcus lactis subspecies diacetylactis is described. The method allows the red color to rapidly develop at a pH above about 5.3 for at least 10 hours and then optionally a faster lactic acid producing bacteria lowers the pH to below about 4.9. The result is a fermented meat with an appealing red color which rapidly develops during processing.
