Summary

AEROBIC PLATE COUNTS (APC) AND COUNTS ON PSYCHROTROPHS, COLIFORMS, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND MOLDS PLUS YEASTS MADE FROM THE SURFACE OF FRESH LAMB CARCASSES AND IN GROUND LAMB DURING REFRIGERATED STORAGE IN BAGDAD, IRAQ. UPON STORAGE OF THE GROUND LAMB AT 275, 277, 278 AND 279 K (2, 4, 5 AND 6 DEG C), APC AND PSYCHROTROPH COUNTS INCREASED TO 1 MILLIARD CFU/G WITHIN 1 WK WITH MORE RAPID MICROBIAL GROWTH AS THE STORAGE TEMPERATURE INCREASED FROM 275 TO 279 K. ORGANOLEPTIC SPOILAGE WAS FIRST DETECTED WHEN APC REACHED 1 MILLIARD CFU/G, OR ABOUT 6 D AT 278 TO 279 K. THE FAT CONTENT OF THE GROUND LAMB DID NOT APPRECIABLY AFFECT THE APC AND PSYCHROTROPH COUNTS. OF 50 ISOLATES OF S. AUREUS, 48 WERE COAGULASE-POSITIVE.
