Microbiology of Meat Spoilage

This paper is titled 'Microbiology of Meat Spoilage'. It clearly explains those Spoilage microorganisms associated with the Spoilage of meat and meat products and also the preservative method to be used in preserving meat.

On the basis of its high moisture content and presence of adequate nutrient, meat is regarded   as   the   most   perishable   product   (Magnus,   1986)   and   thereby   highly susceptible   to   spoilage   by   microbial proliferation.  Apart   from   the   action   of microorganisms,   meat   can  undergo changes by its own enzyme and its fats may   be   oxidised   synthetically   (Berkel, Boogaard and Heijnen, 2004). This may lead   to   changes   in   the   texture   and organoleptic   properties   through   there lease   of   metabolites   (Jackson   and Mcgowan,   2001).   Due   to   its   being exposed   during   slaughtering,   meat   can be   easily   contaminated   by   aerobes leading   to   spoilage.   Various   factors affect   the   proliferation   of   spoilage organisms viz; the level of exposure to air   before   and   after   processing, packaging  and   storage   conditions
