Summary

DELETE MUSHROOM#30 FOOD SAMPLES WERE FROZEN AND STORED AT 255, 247 AND 239 K (18, 26 AND 34.C). SUBSAMPLES WERE ANALYZED FOR CHANGES IN TOTAL AEROBIC FLORA, COLIFORMS AND FUNGI AFTER 0.5, 1, 2, 4 AND 6 MONTHS. ANALYSIS OF THE DATA SHOWED THAT COLIFORMS, AS MEASURED BY VIOLET RED BILE AGAR, EXHIBITED THE GREATEST DECREASE DURING STORAGE, WHEREAS, THE FUNGAL POPULATION EXHIBITED A SENSITIVITY TO FREEZING GREATER OR LESS THAN THE TOTAL AEROBIC FLORA, DEPENDING UPON THE MEDIUM USED.
