Summary

Spoilage of ready-to-use grated raw carrots packaged in polymeric films and stored at 10 deg C was investigated for involvement of yeasts. Cryptococcus albidus, Candida lambica, Candida sake, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis were isolated. All the yeasts isolated at the end of storage were fermentative species. Neither the number of yeasts nor the composition of the yeast flora were related to the deterioration of the product. Although Candida lambica inoculated on grated carrots caused spoilage after 12 days at 10 deg C, the high-oxygen permeable film was most effective in reducing exudate.
