BACTERICIDAL METHOD |
摘要 |
A method rapidly cools meat by exposure to a rapid cooling temperature of no more than about -10° C. for sufficient time to provide a frozen crust on the meat and chills the resultant crust-frozen meat by exposure of said crust-frozen meat to a chilling temperature greater than the rapid cooling temperature but no more than about +10° C. to raise the temperature of the surface of the meat and to maintain said surface at a temperature no higher than the freezing temperature of the meat for at least sufficient time to injure lethally and/or kill bacteria, thereby reducing the viability of bacteria on meat. The method has particular application in the processing of poultry meat to kill bacteria comprising the Campylobacter and/or Salmonella species. The meat is disinfected in a non-intrusive manner, leaving the meat in as natural a state as possible. |
