Microbiological contamination level of semi-finished poultry meat pickled by various methods

Abstract

This article presents the results of microbiological studies of chilled semi-finished poultry meat in a marinade. The recipe of the experimental sample used a complex food additive containing acetates and citrates. In the studied samples, sanitary indicative microorganisms (QMAFAnM, coliforms), opportunistic (Proteus), and pathogenic (Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes) were determined. Based on the data obtained, proposals were developed to reduce the bacterial contamination of semi-finished poultry meat products.
