This work evaluated the effect of potassium sorbate washing on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes on poultry legs stored at 4 °C for 7 days. Fresh inoculated chicken legs were dipped into either a 2.5% (w/v) or 5% potassium sorbate solution or distilled water (control). Changes in mesophiles, pychrotrophic counts and sensorial characteristics (odor, color, texture and overall appearance) were also evaluated.The shelf life of the samples washed with potassium sorbate was extended by at least 2 days over the control samples washed with distilled water. Legs washed with 5% potassium sorbate showed a significant (p < 0.05) inhibitory effect on L. monocytogenes compared to control legs, with a decrease of about 1.3 log units after 7 days of storage. Sensory quality was not adversely affected by potassium sorbate.
