The effect of inoculation with a probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei ŁOCK 0900 on changes in selected functional properties and protein oxidation of dry-cured pork loins during ageing was studied. The protein carbonyls content tended to increase significantly (p < 0.05) throughout ageing to reach a maximum level which was approximately two-fold the initial level in both samples. No statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in carbonyl content were found between the control sample and sample inoculated with L. casei . The passage of ageing time was coupled with a statistically significant (p < 0.05) increase in the trichloroacetic acid soluble peptides concentration in examined loins. Inoculation with a probiotic strain did not have an influence on trichloroacetic acid soluble peptides concentration during the shortest ageing period. Results of measurements carried out for the control sample after 21 and 28 days of ageing were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those obtained for the sample inoculated with L. casei ŁOCK 0900. Free α-amino acids content in both samples increased continuously with increasing ageing time (p < 0.05). Inoculation of loins with a probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei ŁOCK 0900 resulted in significantly higher peptides and free amino acids content. These differences might affect their organoleptic characteristics that need further investigations.
