This research was conducted to investigate the effect of starter culture(Lactobacillus plantarum), glucono-delta-lactone(GdL), and NaCl on the production of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in the processing of fermented sausages. With the increasing amount of GdL(0, 0.23, 0.50 and 0.75%) added the production of enterotoxin was significantly decreased(p>0.01). Lactobacillus plantarum as starter culture were inoculated at the level of $10^6;cells/g$. When GdL was not added, the amount of production of enterotoxin in the group with and without the starter culture were 40 and 80 ng/10g, respectively. With the addition of 0.5%, GdL, the maximum amount of enterotoxin produced in the group with and without starter culture were 30 and 50 ng/10g. These results showed the inhibiting effect of starter culture in the production of enterotoxin. When the amount of enterotoxin production was compared with the addition of 2.7 and 1.7% NaCl, the production of enterotoxin was higher at 2.7% NaCl level.
