Summary

The survival and growth of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus on peeled Hamlin orange are examined. The peeled oranges had an average pH of 6-6.5 at the surface and 3.8 in the juice. After surface inoculation, peeled fruits are incubated for up to 14 days. Growth is observed. Refrigeration (4 or 8 deg C) effectively inhibited the growth of all pathogens.
