Abstract The effect of the addition of isoascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate on storage changes of raw fermented semi-durable sausages quality was investigated in the study. The applied substances improved colour at cross-section, taste and overall acceptability, and had an advantageous effect on the consumer quality of the raw sausage during 30-day storage. It was also observed that the simultaneous application of isoascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate has a more significant effect on sensory quality attributes than the application of only one of them. On the basis of the obtained results it was found that the best products were obtained for the mixture of isoascorbic acid in the amount of 0.1 to 0.4 g/kg batter and 0.5 g sodium ascorbate per 1 kg of batter.
