Summary

The aim of the study was to determine how the ionization of L. monocytogenes in artificially contaminated shrimps would affect its survival. L. monocytogenes has increasing resistance to ionization, when it is treated in saline solution (sodium chloride 0.85%), thawed shrimps, tryptic soy broth-yeast extract (0.6%) and frozen shrimps. A cold enrichment procedure also improved the recovery of L. monocytogenes from irradiated shrimp samples. L. monocytogenes was still present in frozen shrimp samples exposed to 5 kilograys when the initial contamination level reached 5.5 x 10,000 colony forming units/g.
