Summary

The two organisms were separately inoculated on nuggets and stored under modified atmospheres at 3, 7 or 11 deg C. The results show that the growth of P. fluorescens was inhibited by modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to a greater extent than was the growth of L. monocytogenes. Even though growth of L. monocytogenes was inhibited by MAP, the organism was still capable of growth at all three temperatures. The effectiveness of MAP decreased with increasing temperature. Little difference in inhibition of growth was observed for either organism.
