Description
Bactoferm F-RM-52 is a meat starter culture for the production of fast fermented meat products at temperatures between 72-90°F. 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.
Culture Compositions:
- Lactobacillus sakei
- Staphylococcus carnosus
Usage (Click here for pdf)
The culture is recommended for the production of fast fermented North European style sausages e.g. German Mettwurst and Danish salami, but it is also well suited for the production of 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.
Bactoferm F-RM-52 Product Details:
- Usage: 25g package for 220 lb. (100 kg) of meat
- Properties: Off-white to brownish color
- Form: Ground powder
- Solubility: Water soluble suspension
- Kosher Meat Excl. Passover
- Certified Halal
- Freeze dried culture, store in freezer: < -17 °C / < 1 °F
Testing
To test if the bactoferm is still viable, simply shake the package. If the bactoferm is loose when shaken, like sand, then the bacteria is alive. If the bactoferm is clumped together and does not sound loose then the bacteria has died and should not be used.
Delivery and Storage
Due to the limited shelf life outside of a freezer, Bactoferm cannot ship outside of North America. Place Bactoferm in the freezer immediately upon delivery.

We are boar hunters and often bag hundreds of pounds of meat. What to do? Salami! Sausagemaker had everything we needed, grinder, stuffer, casings, and of course Bactoferm for a completely satisfying Italian style wild boar salami. Now, we cant make it fast enough. Everybody wants a stick. Good Job guys, and shipping is reasonable considering I am way out here in California.

The product is great the only problem I have is charging $20.50 to ship the F-RM-52 and the Mold 600 when the 2-only weigh 50 grams!

I initially feared that the warm transit might have damaged this culture, since the package says to keep it frozen, but it was definitely alive. This is a good way to get L.sakei and it works as well as I had read.

The catalog that I receive on a regular basis has been a great help in determining the best approach for incubating and drying Italian-style salami. The results thus far with finocchiona, salami nocciola, salami tartufi, and Spanish-style chorizo have been great. These are the highlight of our dinner parties. The Sausage Maker is a great source for all of my needs.

This product is supposed to be kept at -14degrees Celsius but it arrived fairly warm, I assume that it is still safe to use because it would be crazy if it was shipped in a way that would render it ineffective and I cannot vouch for its effectiveness because my sausage is not yet done curing but I hope itâs good.
