| Abstract | ||
| The microbiological quality and skin appearance of poultry carcasses were determined after acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide spray. Acetic acid at 1% concentrations showed a significant effect(P<0.05)in reducing total mesophilic bacteria count, total coli form count, Escherichia coli count and Staphylococcus aureus count when compared with a sample without treatment,10.50x103,1.03x103,7.5x101,1.05 x102 and 27.47x103, 2.71x103, 4.41x102, 2.74x102 cfu/cm2 respectively. No differences were observed in skin appearance due to 1% acetic acid treatment. Hydrogen perioxide at 1% concentrations did not significantly(P>0.05) effect the microbial load when compared with asample without treatment,26.33x103, 2.61x103,3.70x102,2.63x102and 27.47x103 ,2.71x103,4.41x102,2.74x102 cfu/cm2 respectively. The skin of carcasses treated with H2O2 ,was bleached and bloated. | ||
