Summary

IN TWO SEPARATE PLANT STUDIES, THE REFRIGERATED SHELF LIFE OF WHOLE BROILERS AT 276 K (3 C) WAS EXTENDED BY DIPPING FRESHLY CHILLED CARCASSES IN A 5% (W/W) SOLUTION OF POTASSIUM SORBATE FOR 1 MIN. AFTER 7 DAYS, CONTROL BIRDS HAD ODOR AND SLIME FORMATION AND PSYCHROTROPHIC COUNTS HIGHER THAN 10 MILLION/CM2. SORBATE TREATED BIRDS SHOWED NO SPOILAGE UNTIL THE 14TH OR 15TH DAYS. DIPPING IN SORBATE ALSO REDUCED THE GROWTH OF SALMONELLA AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INOCULATED ONTO THE BROILER CARCASSES.
