INFLUENCE OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING ON MICROBIOLOGY OF BROILER DRUMSTICKS.

Author(s) : ANDERSON K. L.

Type of article: Article

Summary

BROILER DRUMSTICKS WERE VACUUM-PACKAGED, FLUSHED WITH CO2 OR NITROGEN, STORED AT 277-278 K (4-5 DEG C) AND MONITORED FOR AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC BACTERIA GROWTH OVER 11 TO 12 DAYS. VACUUM-PACKAGED DRUMSTICKS HAD LOWER AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC GROWTH RATES, WHEREAS CARBON DIOXIDE-FLUSHED DRUMSTICKS HAD REDUCED AEROBIC GROWTH AND SOME REDUCTION OF THE ANAEROBIC GROWTH RATE. FLUSHING WITH NITROGEN GAS RESULTED IN A REDUCED GROWTH RATE OF AEROBIC BACTERIA BUT HAD NO EFFECT ON ANAEROBIC GROWTH RATE.
