Type of article: Article

Summary

ELECTRICAL STIMULATION CAUSED AN INITIAL REDUCTION IN PH AND IN AEROBIC PLATE COUNT (APC) OF A MIXED MICROFLORA INOCULATED BEEF TISSUE BUT REDUCTION IN MICROFLORA BECAME LESS SIGNIFICANT DURING AEROBIC PRODUCT STORAGE TO 14 DAYS AT 273-275 K (0-2 DEG C). ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ALSO REDUCED THE APC OF SAMPLES STIMULATED BEFORE INOCULATION BUT THE REDUCTION WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO BE SIGNIFICANT. ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND LEVELS OF SODIUM CHLORIDE OR SODIUM NITRITE IN THE CULTURE MEDIA REDUCED MICROBIAL COUNT FROM BEEF TISSUE.
