Summary

POTASSIUM SORBATE INHIBITED THE MOLD AT THE END OF 5 WEEKS AT 253 K (-20 DEG C). COLIFORM COUNTS INCREASED RAPIDLY IN CONTROL SAMPLES AT 310 K (37 DEG C) ; HOWEVER, CONSISTENTLY LOWER COLIFORM COUNTS WERE RECORDED IN THE BUTTER SAMPLES CONTAINING POTASSIUM SORBATE. INCORPORATION OF POTASSIUM SORBATE IN BUTTER SAMPLES AT 253 K REDUCED THE COLIFORM COUNT TO LESS THAN 1 / G AFTER 2 WEEKS, AND DECREASED THE RELEASE OF FREE FATTY ACIDS AND THIOBARBITURIC ACID VALUE (TBA) AS COMPARED TO CONTROL BUTTER SAMPLES.
