Summary

SAMPLES OF SPRING AND FALL HARVESTED COLLARDS WERE OBTAINED AT CRITICAL STAGES IN A NORMAL HARVESTING, TRANSPORTATION AND CRYOGENIC PROCESSING OPERATION AND MICROBIOLOGICALLY ANALYZED FOR TOTAL PLATE COUNTS, ENTEROBACTERIACEAE COUNTS, YEASTS AND MOULDS. OPERATIONS THAT INVOLVED EXTENDED HOLDING TIMES AND MECHANICAL HANDLING TENDED TO INCREASE ALL COUNTS SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE BLANCHING AND BLAST FREEZING WITH LIQUID N2 REDUCED COUNTS TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS.
