Abstract: | Effect of pyrophosphate (PP) in combination with modified atmosphere (MAP) (80% CO2, 10% O2 and 10% N2) on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157 inoculated on seabass slices stored at 4 °C was investigated. PP pretreatment showed the synergistic effect on microbiological inhibition with MAP as evidenced by the lowered TVC and LAB counts, compared with samples stored in air and those kept under MAP. Microbiological changes of seabass slices inoculated with different levels of L. monocytogenes or E.coli O157 (103 and 105 cfu/g) were monitored during storage. PP pretreatment reduced colony count of E. coli O157 and extended the lag phase of L. monocytogenes. Therefore, MAP in combination with PP pretreatment not only retarded microbiological deterioration of seabass slices but also reduced or inactivated some pathogenic bacteria to some extent. |
