Summary

The microflora of commercially packaged spinach, cauliflower and carrots was compared after storage for 7 days at 3.3 and 15 deg C. Storage at 15 deg C produced significantly high aerobic counts in spinach, cauliflower florets and carrot sticks, but not in cauliflower heads and whole carrot. Psychrotrophic species made up a significant proportion of the microflora at both the temperatures. Little growth of coliform and lactic acid bacteria was observed at either temperature.
