Summary

THIS STUDY WAS DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF HOLDING TIME BEFORE CHILLING OF HOT-BONEDGROUND BEEF ON MICROBIAL GROWTH. TWENTY POUNDS OF CHUCK WERE REMOVED FROM THE RIGHT SIDES OF BEEF CARCASSES IMMEDIATELY AFTER SLAUGHTER, GROUND THROUGH A 2.5-CM PLATE, AND HELD IN A 283 K (10.C) ROOM. AT 1, 2, 4 AND 8 HR AFTER SLAUGHTER, 5 LB WERE CHILLED TO 273 K (0.C) WITH CO2 AND GROUND THROUGH A 0.32-CM PLATE. PATTIES WERE FORMED, FROZEN IN A CO2 TUNNEL AND EXAMINED FOR COLIFORMS, STAPHYLOCOCCI, PSYCHROTROPHS, AND MESOPHILES. RESULTS SHOW NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FOUR TREATMENTS AND A CONVENTIONALLY PROCESSED CONTROL.
