Abstract
This study aims to develop fermented rabbit meat jerky. Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (Lcs) from commercially available cultured drink was used as a starter culture. Samples of jerky were fermented at 3 h, 5 h, and 7 h. Parameters such as Lactobacillus count (CFU/g), pH, % titratable acidity, % moisture content, and water activity (Aw) were investigated. Results revealed that fermented rabbit meat jerky has a significantly lower pH than unfermented. Percent (%) moisture content and Aw of the fermented samples are found to be comparable to other dried fermented meats. However, no significant changes were observed in % titratable acidity among the jerky produced. The results of this study provide baseline data on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of rabbit meat jerky during fermentation.
