Summary

The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in cold-smoked salmon is a major concern. The authors investigated the effect of the curing method and freeze-thawing of cold-smoked salmon on the physico-chemical properties and growth of L. monocytogenes. Wet-cured cold-smoked salmon had higher pH, water activity and moisture level, and lower fat and phenolic content compared with dry-cured cold-smoked salmon. Freeze-thawing cold-smoked salmon led to marked growth of L. monocytogenes at 7°C.
