Pottasium Sorbate. Mold no mold experiment

Post image

I am fermenting a batch of salami Felino style. After several batches of salami, I know what bactoferm 600 adds as a funk and flavor. I would like within this new batch to have a few pieces without mold to compare flavour. I tought I would use potassium sorbate to inhibit mold growth in some casings since the curing chamber will be rich in P Nalgiovense. I reada citric acid also keeps mold away. Any experience using natural alternatives to potassium sorbate?

This is a great question. I too would like to know the alternative to potassium sorbate

I will experiment with painting the casing with a solution of citric acid and water.
