Type of article: Article

Summary

VARIOUS INOCULUM CONCENTRATIONS (320, 4,800 AND 47,000) WERE APPLIED TO CHICKEN BREASTS WHICH WERE COOKED TO AN INTERNAL ENDPOINT TEMPERATURE OF 346.9 K (73.9 DEG C). AFTERCOOKING, PORTIONS WERE EITHER VACUUM-PACKAGED OR WRAPPED IN AN OXYGEN PERMEABLE FILM AND STORED FOR UP TO 4 WEEKS AT 277 K (4 DEG C) OR UP TO 10 DAYS AT 283 K (10 DEG C). SOME LISTERIA SURVIVED THE COOKING PROCESS REGARDLESS OF THE INOCULUM LEVELS. SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN THE L. MONOCYTOGENES POPULATION OCCURRED FOR EACH INOCULUM CONCENTRATION AT BOTH STORAGE TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE FIRST SAMPLING PERIOD (WEEK 1 FOR 277 K AND DAY 3 FOR 283 K).
