1)Sausages prepared with addition of sodium nitrite (0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm) and A. hookeri powder (0, 0.5, and 1.0%).
2)Group abbreviations: N represents nitrites in ppm, and A represents A. hookeri in % added in the process of preparation of sausages.
a-cMeans sharing a common superscript letter(s) in the same column are not significantly different (p>0.05).
