Summary

THE MICROBIOLOGICAL, SENSORY AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN PRECOOKED CHILLED PORK WERE MEASURED OVER 8 DAYS STORAGE AT 274 AND 278 K (1 AND 5 DEG C). MICROBIAL GROWTH WAS LIMITED, BUT MARKED SENSORY AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHANGES OCCURRED WITHIN THE 5-DAY PERIOD. AT 274 K, MARKED TOUGHENING OCCURRED AFTER ONLY 1 DAY ; WHILST AT 278 K ADVERSE FLAVOUR AND ODOUR CHANGES WERE NOTICEABLE BY THE 4TH DAY OF STORAGE. THE AMOUNT OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS, ESPECIALLY N-HEXANAL, INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE 8-DAY STORAGE PERIOD, PARTICULARLY AT 278 K.
