Meat is a highly perishable food which is easily susceptible to microbial contamination. There are various factors which affect the freshness of the meat the most important factors are storage temperature, time of exposure of meat to extrinsic factors and handling of carcass during and after slaughter. Hence a study was conducted to compare the microbial load in chevon carcass hanged at room temperature for 6 hours and at chiller temperature for 30 hours. Twenty four numbers of 6 months old tellicherry young male goats were selected and they were slaughtered by the standard procedure. The carcass was vertically split into two halves and one half was exposed to room temperature and another half to chiller temperature. For 3 hours interval the samples were collected and microbiological analysis was done. | Nội dung Text Assessment of microbial load in goat carcass kept at different storage conditions
