Summary

THE EFFECTS OF GASEOUS PERMEABILITY OF THE FILM AND STORAGE TEMPERATURE: 273 AND 277 K (0 AND 4 DEG C) ON THE MICROFLORA OF REFRIGERATED BEEF WERE ANALYZED ; TOTAL AEROBIC COUNTS, ANAEROBIC COUNTS, PSEUDOMONAS SP, BROCHOTHRIX THERMOSPHACTA, LACTOBACILLUS SP, ENTEROBACTERIACEAE AND YEASTS WERE DETERMINED AS FUNCTIONS OF TIME. STORAGE PERIODS TO REACH A TOTAL COUNT OF 10 MILLIONS CFU/CM2 WERE ESTABLISHED FOR DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. MICROBIAL GROWTH WAS MODELLED BY MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS IN TERMS OF INITIAL CONTAMINATION, GROWTH RATE AND LENGTH OF THE LAG PHASE FOR EACH COMPONENT OF THE MIXED FLORA.
