Summary

Microbiological and colour changes of catfish fillets were determined following dip treatment in solutions at 4 deg C of 2% acetic, citric hydrochloric, lactic, malic, or tartaric acid. Fillets were inoculated with an eight-strain mixture of Listeria monocytogenes prior to dipping. L. monocytogenes, coliform, and aerobic plate counts and surface pH and Hunter colour were measured at 0, 2, 5 and 8 days of storage at 4 deg C.
