“…In practice, these characteristics become evident when the Pseudomonas have exhausted the glucose and lactate present in meat and begin to metabolize nitrogenous compounds such as amino acids (NYCHAS et al 2008;DAINTY, 1996). Therefore, sensory changes are noticeable only when the microorganisms count surpasses the values of 10 7 or 10 8 cfu/g, they are considered typical levels of end of shelf-life for chilled meat (REALINI et al, 2011;NYCHAS et al, 2008;INTERNATIONAL..., 1980). Substances such as mono-, di-and trimetilaminas, ethyl and propyl compounds, ammonia, H 2 S, alcohols, and short chain fatty acids are found in spoiled meat and are responsible time points were considered for pH analysis only, at the 8 th and 11 st day, which were also performed in triplets.…”
