Saucisson Sec
Saucisson (), also saucisson sec or saucisse sèche, is a family of thick, dry-cured sausage-shaped charcuterie in French cuisine. Typically made of pork, or a mixture of pork and other meats, saucisson are a type of charcuterie similar to salami. There is also a tradition of making saucisse sèche in western Switzerland, the term ''saucisson'' being used only for sausages with interrupted maturation, therefore cooking sausages. Origin Saucisson comes from the Latin ' meaning ''salted''. The Celtic peoples were renowned for preparing all types of cured meats, particularly sausages. The fame of Gallic charcuterie was such that it was exported to Rome and the rest of the Roman Empire. The word ''saucisson'' first appeared in France in 1546 in the ''Tiers Livre'' of Rabelais. Production Stuffing Saucisson stuffing is generally made of two-thirds to three-quarters lean meat and the rest fat (largely pork back-fat called '). The mixture is ground to different fineness dep ...

Potassium Nitrate
Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula . It is a potassium salt of nitric acid. This salt consists of potassium cations and nitrate anions , and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or ''nitre'' outside the United States). It is a source of nitrogen, and nitrogen was named after niter. Potassium nitrate is one of several nitrogen-containing compounds collectively referred to as saltpetre (or saltpeter in the United States). Major uses of potassium nitrate are in fertilizers, tree stump removal, rocket propellants and fireworks. It is one of the major constituents of traditional gunpowder (black powder). In processed meats, potassium nitrate reacts with hemoglobin and myoglobin generating a red color. Etymology Nitre, or potassium nitrate, because of its early and global use and production, has many names. As for nitrate, Egyptian and Hebrew words for it had the ...

Génépi
Génépi or génépy () is a traditional herbal liqueur or apéritif popularized in the Alpine regions. ''Genepi'' also refers to alpine plants of the genus '' Artemisia'' (commonly called ''wormwood'') that is used to make a liqueur in the French region of Savoy and in the Italian regions of Piedmont and Aosta Valley, where the ''Artemisia'' génépi plants grow and where the beverage is commonly produced. Génépi liqueur is related to absinthe in that its namesake botanicals are of the genus ''Artemisia'', but like Chartreuse, it is a liqueur (contains sugar) and traditionally taken neat. Like many European herbal liqueurs, especially those used as digestifs, the flavor of génépi can be an acquired taste. It is less sweet than many digestifs, and the flavor imparted by the herbs is reminiscent of chamomile or feverfew. It is naturally light olive to pale gold in color. Cheaper versions may be made bright green through the addition of food coloring. Because génépi is ...

Laguiole (cheese)
Laguiole (, locally ), sometimes called Tome de Laguiole, is a pressed uncooked French cheese from the plateau of Aubrac, situated between 800 - 1400m, in the region of Aveyron in the southern part of France. It takes its name from the small town of Laguiole and has been protected under the French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) since 1961 and a Appellation d'origine protégée since 1996. Laguiole is said to have been invented at a monastery in the mountains of Aubrac in the 19th century. According to historical accounts, the monks passed down the recipe for making this cheese from cattle during the alpages to the local buronniers, the owners of burons, or mountain huts.french-cheese.comdescribes the flavor as: * "''It is thus surprisingly tender on the palate leaving a persistently wettish sensation. Its first hazelnut taste quickly transforms into a subtle acidic bouquet, in which touches of floral aromas with a very slight bitter sensation are mixed together with ...

Roquefort
Roquefort () is a sheep milk blue cheese from southern France. Though similar cheeses are produced elsewhere, European Union law, EU law dictates that only those cheeses aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon may bear the name Roquefort, as it is a recognised geographical indication, and has a protected designation of origin. Roquefort is white, tangy, creamy and slightly moist, with veins of blue Mold (fungus), mold. It has a characteristic fragrance and flavor with a taste of butyric acid; the blue veins provide a sharp tang. It has no rind; the exterior is edible and slightly salty. A typical wheel weighs between 2.5 and 3kg (5.5 to 6.6lbs), and is about thick. Each kilogram of finished cheese requires about 4.5 liters of milk to produce. In France, Roquefort is often called the "king of cheeses" or the "cheese of kings", although those names King of Cheeses, are also used for other cheeses. History According to legend, Roquefort cheese was discovered wh ...

Lactobacillus Sakei
''Latilactobacillus sakei'' is the type species of the genus ''Latilactobacillus'' that was previously classified in the genus ''Lactobacillus''. It is homofermentative; hexoses are metabolized via glycolysis to lactic acid as main metabolite; pentoses are fermented via the phosphoketolase pathway to lactic and acetic acid. Uses Antilisterial strains of ''L. sakei'' are used in Europe for the production of saucisson and can be used for the conservation of fresh meat. ''L. sakei'' strains isolated from traditional dry sausage have a potential use as starter cultures. Inhibition of ''Listeria monocytogenes'' in chicken cold cuts can be obtained by addition of sakacin P and sakacin P-producing ''Lactobacillus sakei''. Strain ''2a'' of the subspecies ''L. sakei subsp. sakei'' can also be isolated from meat products. ''L. sakei'' is the dominant species during the manufacturing process of producing sake (Japanese rice wine) starter culture. Research suggests that ''L. sak ...

Antilisterial
''Listeria'' is a genus of bacteria that acts as an intracellular parasite in mammals. As of 2024, 28 species have been identified. The genus is named in honour of the British pioneer of sterile surgery Joseph Lister. ''Listeria'' species are Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and facultatively anaerobic, and do not produce endospores. The major human pathogen in the genus is '' L. monocytogenes''. Although ''L. monocytogenes'' has low infectivity, it is hardy and can grow in a refrigerator temperature of 4 °C (39.2 °F) up to the human body temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F). [No longer accessible. Archived version availablhere] It is the usual cause of the relatively rare bacterial disease listeriosis, an infection caused by eating foodborne illness, food contaminated with the bacteria. The overt form of the disease has a case-fatality rate of around 20–30%. Listeriosis can cause serious illness in pregnant women, newborns, adults with weakened immune system ...

Bacteria
Bacteria (; : bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one Cell (biology), biological cell. They constitute a large domain (biology), domain of Prokaryote, prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit the air, soil, water, Hot spring, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria play a vital role in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients and the nitrogen fixation, fixation of nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere, atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of cadaver, dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, suc ...
