The objective of this study was to validate the effectiveness of acetic and lactic acids (2% and 5%), acidified sodium chlorite (1000Â ppm), and sterile water in reducing Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium in inoculated beef trim in a simulated processing environment. Samples were collected to assess microbial characteristics at three processing points. Results from this study indicate that all treatments, including sterile water, reduced pathogen concentrations (PÂ <Â 0.05) of both E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium in ground beef up to 0.5 and 0.6 log by 24Â h, respectively. In some cases, there were no significant differences between the antimicrobial treatments and the sterile water using this application method. Triangle sensory test results of non-inoculated beef indicated there were no differences (PÂ <Â 0.05) in the means of correct responses between controls or antimicrobial treatments at 6 or 24Â h. While interventions are important for beef trim, use of the interventions must be validated under industry conditions to ensure proper effectiveness.
âºSpray application consisted of sterile water, organic acids (2 and 4%), or ASC. âºSpray application reduced E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef up to 0.5 log by 24 h. âºSpray application reduced Salmonella Typhimurium up to 0.6 log by 24 h. âºConsumers could not detect differences between controls or antimicrobial treatments. âºInterventions need validation under industry conditions to ensure effectiveness.
