Summary

FOOD POISONING BACTERIA, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, SALMONELLA, YERSINIA ENTEROCOLITICA AND AEROMONAS HYDROPHILA, WERE INOCULATED ONTO IMITATION CRABLEGS AND FLAKED CRAB.INOCULATED SAMPLES WERE INCUBATED AT 273, 278, 283 AND 288 K (0, 5, 10 AND 15 DEG C). STAPHYLOCOCCUS, SALMONELLA, AND AEROMONAS INCREASED AT 288 AND 283 K BUT NOT AT THE 2 LOWER TEMPERATURES. YERSINIA GREW AT THE 4 TEMPERATURES TESTED. THE RAPID GROWTH AT THESE TEMPERATURES CLEARLY INDICATED THAT THE PATHOGENS COULD BE POTENTIAL HAZARDS IF THE PRODUCTS WERE CONTAMINATED AND SUBJECTED TO TEMPERATURE ABUSE AFTER LEAVING THE PROCESSING PLANTS.
