Chilled meat has a high water activity and is rich in nutrients, so it
is prone to microbial contamination during industrial production, and
the microorganisms contaminated are widespread and complex. In order to
address its biosafety issues and potential food safety risks, the
experiment was conducted to investigate the variation of dominant
spoilage bacteria in chilled meat under storage conditions of 2 ± 2 ℃,
10 ± 2 ℃, and 20 ± 2 ℃, respectively. At the same time, the variation of
spoilage bacteria in four layers of chilled meat under three temperature
conditions was detected. The results showed that when chilled pork was
stored at 2 ± 2 ℃ and 10 ± 2 ℃, Pseudomonas sp., Thermosporaceae, and
Enterobacteriaceae were the dominant spoilage bacteria in chilled pork,
while when stored at 20 ± 2 ℃, Thermosporaceae, Enterobacteriaceae,
Pseudomonas sp., and Lactobacillus sp. became the dominant spoilage
bacteria in chilled pork; When chilled pork was stored at 2 ± 2 ℃ and 10
± 2 ℃, the order of proliferation of different types of spoilage
microorganisms in the inner layer was as follows: Fusarium
thermophila>Enterobacteriaceae>Lactobacillus>Pseudomonas>Yeast/Yeast>Staphylococcus/
Micrococcus; When stored at 20 ± 2 ℃, the order of the number of
proliferation of different types of spoilage microorganisms is as
follows:
Thermomycetes>Enterobacteriaceae>Lactobacillus
>Yeast/Yeast>Pseudomonas>Staphylococcus/Micrococcus.
Finally, through the change rules of dominant spoilage bacteria under
three temperatures and the penetration of spoilage bacteria in chilled
meat, it provides a theoretical basis for enterprises to improve
precision sterilization and key control point technology.
