Parameters for control of Listeria monocytogenes in smoked fishery products: sodium chloride and packaging method.

Summary

The behaviour of L. monocytogenes in cold-process (smoked) salmon containing 3, 5, or 6% water-phase sodium chloride was evaluated during 30 to 40 days storage at 5 or 10 deg C in either oxygen-permeable film or vacuum-sealed impermeable film. The use of sugar in the product did not influence the growth of L. monocytogenes. Maximum populations of aerobic microorganisms reached at 5 and 10 deg C were similar, although the rate of growth was somewhat delayed at 5 deg C, and some inhibition was shown by 5 and 6% sodium chloride and by vacuum packaging.
