Abstract: Traditional microbial culture and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) were used to examine microflora changes of hot-boned pork during storage at different temperatures. Total aerobic counts (TAC) were determined at regular time intervals during storage and bacterial DNA extraction was carried out for PCR-DGGE analysis. The storage time required for reaching the minimum spoilage level 7.2(lg(CFU/g)) at 5, 15, 25 ℃ and 30 ℃ were 14 d, 75 h, 19 h and 16 h, respectively. PCR-DGGE demonstrated that different spoilage bacteria dominated at the end of storage at different temperatures, and the dominant spoilage bacteria in hot-boned pork were mainly Macrococcu, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter, Acinetobacter and Escherichia.

Key words: hot-boned pork, total aerobic counts(TAC), polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE), microflora change
