Type of article: Article

Summary

CHICKEN BREASTS WERE INOCULATED WITH L. MONOCYTOGENES, COOKED TO 1 OF 5 DIFFERENT INTERNAL TEMPERATURES, THEN EITHER VACUUM-PACKAGED OR WRAPPED IN AN OXYGEN PERMEABLE FILM AND STORED FOR UP TO 4 WEEKS AT 277 AND 283 K (4 AND 10 DEG C). SURVIVORS WERE ENCOUNTERED AT EACH COOKING TEMPERATURE EMPLOYED. THE MAGNITUDE OF LETHALITY WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE COOKING TEMPERATURE. NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN MICROBIAL POPULATIONS OCCURRED THROUGH 2 WEEKS. BACTERIAL POPULATIONS IN SAMPLES THAT WERE OVERWRAPPED INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY BY WEEK 4. DIFFERENCES DUE TO PACKAGING WERE OBSERVED AT 277 K BUT NOT AT 283 K.
