| Abstract: | Fresh poultry fillets inoculated or not with Pseudomonas fragi stored under aerobic, vacuum and 100% CO2 packaging conditions to study the microbiological as well as the changes occurring in the concentration of glucose, lactate and water-soluble proteins, during the storage at 3 and 10°C. It was found that lactic acid bacteria were the dominant organisms in inoculated or uninoculated poultry fillets stored under these conditions. The low-molecular-weight compounds such as glucose and L -lactate were found to decrease always in these fillets during storage and the profile of water-soluble proteins as detected by HPLC differed among the different samples treated differently. © 1997 SCI. |
