Abstract:
|
Risk assessment of microbiological hazards in foods has gained increased attention in food microbiology in recent years, and has become a priority area of work for the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) since 1999. Organic acid salts such as sodium lactate (SL), sodium diacetate (SD), potassium benzoate (PB), potassium sorbate (PS) and their combinations are recognized as potential inhibitions of L. monocytogenes growth on frankfurters. The objective of this study was to select a proper L. monocytogenes growth curve model for frankfurters treated with organic acid salts and to provide a means of risk assessment for L. monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) meats, treated with organic acid salts. This information is expected to improve the practical guidelines and methodology for hazard characterization of microbial pathogens on RTE meat products.
