Efficacy of combinations of lactic acid and potassium sorbate against Listeria monocytogenes in chicken stored under modified atmospheres

The combined effect of lactic acid and potassium sorbate on the growth of L. monocytogenes on chicken legs packaged under modified atmospheres (MAP) and stored at 4 °C was evaluated. An extended lag phase and a lower maximum growth rate for psychrotrophs and mesophiles was found in those samples pac...

Zusammenfassung:The combined effect of lactic acid and potassium sorbate on the growth of L. monocytogenes on chicken legs packaged under modified atmospheres (MAP) and stored at 4 °C was evaluated. An extended lag phase and a lower maximum growth rate for psychrotrophs and mesophiles was found in those samples packaged in 20%CO2/80%N2 and washed with different combinations of lactic acid and potassium sorbate compared to those non-treated with organic acids. Legs packaged in 20%CO2/80%N2 and washed with 3.75% lactic acid- 3.75% potassium sorbate showed a significant (p
