Abstract:

Growth characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in refrigerated chicken with 60Co γ irradiation of different doses during storage were investigated to develop a pathogenic bacteria inactivation method using 60Co γ irradiation for refrigerated chicken storage. Pathogenic bacteria inactivation efficiency irradiated by 60Co γ in refrigerated chicken was evaluated through survival rate, which is the irradiation dose to keep 10% microorganism alive (D10). The D10s of total number of bacterial colony, E. coli 10003, and two strains of Campylobacter jejuni named 33560 and CY04 in refrigerated chicken after 60Co γ irradiation were 1.434, 0.408, 0.175 and 0.2 kGy, respectively. The total numbers of bacterial colony in vacuum packaged chicken samples after 3 and 5 kGy irradiation and following storage at 0-4 ℃ for 21 and 28 d were measured to be 5.66 and 4.90 lg (CFU/g), respectively, which meet the hygienic standard of poultry products.

Key words: refrigerated chicken, pathogenic bacteria, D10, storage, irradiation
