Summary

THE MICROBIOLOGICAL AND SENSORY QUALITY OF CABBAGE CASSEROLE AND MIXED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH MAYONNAISE WAS ASSESSED AFTER PRODUCTION, ON THE SELL-BY DATE AND 7 DAYS LATER. SAMPLES WERE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM 5 DIFFERENT PLANTS, STORED AT 277K (4 DEG C) AND ANALYZED BY 3 DIFFERENT LABORATORIES. YEASTS WERE DETECTED IN SOME CASSEROLES ON THE SELL-BY DATES. A FEW MORE HAD YEASTS AND/OR MOULDS A WEEK LATER. TASTE, ODOUR, CONSISTENCY AND APPEARANCE SCORES SHOWED A STEADY DECREASE DURING STORAGE. 9 CASSEROLES WERE DEEMED UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION 7 DAYS AFTER THE SELL-BY DATES. MAIN DEFECTS WERE SLIMINESS AND ACID, FERMENTED TASTE AND VISIBLE MOULD SPOTS. SALADS FROM ALL COMPANIES CONTAINED LACTOBACILLI AND COUNTS INCREASED SLIGHTLY DURING STORAGE.
