Summary

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROFLORA ON HOT-BONED AND CONVENTIONALLY PROCESSED BEEF PLATE CUTS WAS INVESTIGATED FROM TIME OF SLAUGHTER AND/OR FABRICATION THROUGHOUT VACUUM-PACKAGED STORAGE FOR 6 WEEKS AT 273-274 K (0-1 DEG C). MICROBIAL ANALYSES INCLUDED ENUMERATION OF MESOPHILIC, PSYCHROTROPHIC AND TOTAL ENTEROBACTERIACEAE POPULATIONS AS WELL AS TAXONOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF CORRESPONDING MICROBIAL ISOLATES. MICROBIAL COUNTS OF HOT-BONED CUTS WERE GENERALLY HIGHER. EARLIER PREDOMINANCE OF ORGANISMS SUCH AS LACTOBACILLUS SPP. AND BROCHOTHRIX THERMOS-PHACTA ON HOT-BONED VS CONVENTIONALLY PROCESSED CUTS WAS INDICATED BY TAXONOMIC DETERMINATIONS.
