| Summary: | The decomposition and oxidation of fat is essential for the formation and quality of the unique flavor of sausage. To explore the effect of lactic acid bacteria on fat decomposition and oxidation in fermented sausage, free fatty acids and volatile flavor compounds were determined by gas chromatography (GC) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)-GC–MS, respectively. The results showed that the addition of Lactobacillus helveticus IMAUJBH1 inhibited fat peroxidation and relatively increased the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids. A total of 47 volatile flavor compounds were detected, including aldehydes, esters, alcohols, and ketones. The content of substances such as hexanal, heptanal, nonanal and 1-octene-3-ol related to lipid oxidation was significantly reduced. The results obtained in this study show that the strain can further affect the flavor of the product by inhibiting the formation of lipid oxidation or peroxide flavor substances to a certain extent.
