SURVIVAL OF SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM ATCC 14028 ON THE SURFACE OF CHICKEN LEGS OR IN MECHANICALLY DEBONED CHICKEN MEAT (MDCM) GAMMA IRRADIATED IN AIR OR VACUUM AT TEMPERATURES OF 253 TO 293 K (-20 TO 20 DEG C).

Summary

THE RESPONSE OF S. TYPHIMURIUM TO GAMMA RADIATION WAS SIMILAR ON BOTH CHICKEN LEGS AND MDCM. THE RADIATION WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LETHAL TO THE BACTERIAL CELLS AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING. THE RESPONSE-SURFACE EQUATIONS DEVELOPED FROM THE STUDIES PREDICT THAT THE NUMBER OF VIABLE CELLS PER GRAMME OF MDCM OR PER SQUARE CENTIMETER OF THE SURFACE OF CHICKEN LEGS WOULD BE REDUCED APPROXIMATELY 2.8 TO 5.1 LOG UNITS AT 273 K (0 DEG C) BY RADIATION DOSES WITHIN THE RANGE OF 1.5 TO 3 KILOGRAYS.
