The processing of traditional poultry- and pork-based semidried fermented smoked sausages needs to bemodernized to improve product quality and further extend its shelf life. The aim of the present study was to applydifferent combinations of high pressure (300 to 600 MPa) and time (154 to 1,800 s) on the sausages using an experimentaldesign based on response surface methodology. The chemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of sausages treatedwith high-pressure processing (HPP) were investigated. HPP application to semidried fermented sausages resulted incolor changes, which could be dependent on the ingredients, formulation, and smoking conditions used. Nevertheless,none of the HPP treatments applied resulted in detectable changes in sensory properties, as tested in a triangle test andconfirmed by the analysis of focus groups assessment. Significant differences were detected for lactic acid bacteria (LAB)counts from 344 MPa and 1,530 s onward, with a marked decrease for the combination of 600 MPa and 960 s (P<0.05).Coagulase-negativestaphylococcishowed higher tolerance to the increase in pressure than LAB. HPP induced a microbialreduction onEnterobacteriaceae, molds, and yeasts, minimizing the production of the main biogenic amines. However,the polyamines (spermine and spermidine) increased since their metabolic use by microorganisms did not occur. Giventhe reduction of the main spoilage microbial indicators with no detectable sensory changes observed with the binomialcondition of 600 MPa and 960 s, this was chosen as the optimal combination to be further applied.
