Control sausage was formulated with 1.5% (w/w) NaCl, and reduced-salt treatment was prepared with 0.75% (w/w) NaCl.
Chicken bone and medicinal herbs were heated at 95°C for 1 h, evaporated, and diluted to 10 volumes.
Means data sharing the same superscript letter within a row are not significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test.
