Summary

HETEROTROPHIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM 2 SHORE-BASED SURIMI PROCESSING PLANTS IN ALASKA WERE IDENTIFIED TO THE GENUS LEVEL. IN ONE PLANT, THE MAJOR BACTERIAL CONSTITUENTS WERE FLAVOBACTERIUM AND PSEUDOMONAS, FOLLOWED BY MORAXELLA, AEROMONAS, LACTOBACILLUS, SERRATIA, AND ACINETOBACTER. IN THE OTHER PLANT, MAJOR BACTERIAL GROUPS WERE FLAVOBACTERIUM AND ARTHROBACTER/CORYNEBACTERIUM, FOLLOWED BY PSEUDOMONAS AND ACINETOBACTER. PSEUDOMONAS, AEROMONAS AND SERRATIA WERE CAPABLE OF RAPID GROWTH AT AS LOW AS 281 K (8 DEG C), WITH RESPECTIVE GENERATION TIMES 303N. FREEZING AND THAWING OF SURIMI REDUCED MICROBIAL COUNTS TO 45-67% OF THE PRE-FROZEN LOAD.
