Type of article: Article

Summary

THE RESISTANCE TO FREEZING OF FECAL COLIFORMS ISOLATED FROM FROZEN VEGETABLES WAS COMPARED TO THAT OF ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM FECAL SOURCES. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO SEE IF LOWER RESISTANCE TO FREEZING MIGHT EXPLAIN FROZEN VEGETABLE SAMPLES THAT CONTAIN FECAL COLIFORMS BUT NOT E. COLI. SURVIVALS AFTER 200 D AT 263 K (-10 DEG C) IN VEGETABLE HOMOGENATES RANGED FROM 0.014 TO 75% FOR RESUSCITATED VEGETABLE ISOLATES COMPARED TO 0. 49 TO 18% FOR RESUSCITATED E. COLI ISOLATED FROM FECAL SOURCES.
