Time course of volatile compound formation during refrigerated storage of naturally contaminated beef in air

Abstract: The microbial flora of naturally contaminated beef stored in air was similar to that frequently recorded for meat stored under gas permeable films. Compounds produced as a result of microbial growth were acetoin, diacetyl, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethyl esters of acetic, propionic, butyric, isovaleric and hexanoic acids, methane thiol, dimethylsulphide, dimethyl disulphide, 1-undecene and 1,4-undecadiene. The first four compounds, which are known end-products of Brochothrix thermosphacta metabo… Show more

“…The microbiota of aerobically packed meat stored at chill temperatures is dominated by Pseudomonas spp., which reach a level of 10 9 CFU/g at the point of spoilage. The expected shelf life is in the range of days (15,24,36,42). At the time of rejection the typical off odor is putrid and slime is visible at the surface (15).…”

“…The expected shelf life is in the range of days (15,24,36,42). At the time of rejection the typical off odor is putrid and slime is visible at the surface (15). The shelf life of vacuum-packed fresh meat products stored at chill temperatures is extended to weeks or months and the microbiota typically consists of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Enterobacteriaceae at levels of 10 8 and 10 6 CFU/g, respectively (6,40,50,53,57).…”

“…Brochothrix thermosphacta is a microorganism for which meat is considered an ecological niche, even though it can also occur in spoiled fish. The capability of B. thermosphacta to grow on meat during both aerobiosis and anaerobiosis makes it a significant meat colonizer and an important member of the spoilage-related flora due to off-odor production (11,45). Many members of the Enterobacteriaceae, belonging to the genera Serratia, Enterobacter, Pantoea, Proteus, and Hafnia, often contribute to meat spoilage (5,24,30,35,43).…”

“…The development of organoleptic spoilage is related to microbial consumption of meat nutrients such as sugars and free amino acids and the release of undesired volatile metabolites. Microbial loads from 10 7 CFU cm Ϫ2 are usually associated to occurrence of off-odors such as "cheesy" or "buttery" odors; these may evolve into "fruity" odors when the loads increase and become putrid smells as the result of free amino acid consumption at loads as high as 10 9 CFU cm Ϫ2 (11,29). In fact, once the glucose present in the aqueous phase has been utilized, other substrates are sequentially consumed until odorous nitrogenous compounds such as ammonia and dimethylsulfide are released (51).…”

“…Meat is a nutrient-rich medium that offers ideal conditions for bacterial growth. The bacteria release their metabolites on meat surface during storage time causing organoleptic change (Dainty et al, 1985). Thus, the use of antibacterial agent is necessary in meat processing.…”
