Abstract
The marinades with antimicrobials caused a significant decrease in viable count of the pathogens during marinations at 5 °C for 18 h of up to 2.1 and 3.4 log cfu cmâ2 for Salmonella and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Marinades without antimicrobials were less bactericidal resulting to reductions ranging from 0.3 to 0.4 and 1.3 to 2.0 log cfu cmâ2 for Salmonella and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Growth of L. monocytogenes was observed in the controls at both tested temperatures, while growth of Salmonella was observed in the controls stored at 15 °C. No growth of the pathogens was observed in any of the marinated samples at both temperature tested. No significant changes of heat resistance of the tested pathogens after exposure to the marinades were observed demonstrating the enhanced safety of the marinated beef product.
