Abstract

Three types of phosphate compound; sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium acid pyrophosphate were used in a Nham formulation in order to investigated the effects on product quality during 48 hours of fermentation at 30 °C. It was found that the Nham which using sodium tripolyphosphate had overall qualities better than the other treatments. Its mean ideal ratio score was 0.78+0.12 higher than the other treatments which has mean ideal ratio score between 0.68-0.77 for 48 hours of fermentation. Additionally, the Nham which used sodium tripolyphosphate had only few weight loss (3.2028+.2120%), compression force (62.32+.04 newton), shear force (24.30+2.33 newton). The product also had bright red pink colour (L*55.00 a*13.98 b*7.91), pH (4.42+0.03) and total acidity as lactic acid (0.96+0.02%). In addition, the Nham using sodium tripolyphosphate in formulation was detected less number of enterobacteriaceae than the product without phosphate and after 24 hours of fermentation, S. aureus was not detected in the product. However, sodium acid pyrophosphate could be used alternatively in Nham formulation as it was the least weight loss and also pH. It could effectively reduced the number of enterobacteriaceae and S. aureus.
