Summary

This study determined the effect of a 2% acetic acid spray, pulsed-power electricity, pulsed-power electricity with a spray of sterile deionized water, and a combination of acetic spray and pulsed-power electricity. The results indicate a need for the use of both 2% acetic acid and pulse-power electricity in packing-house facilities to help achieve the goal of improved microbiological safety of beef.
