Abstract

For the purpose of reducing the microbiological counts in chilled beef carcasses,in the commercial conditions,the microbiological conditions of slaughtered process was surveyed,and the effects of different kinds of spraying was studied.Results indicated that the operation of dehiding was deleted the most contamination to the beef carcasses in the slaughtered process,the second was the operation of evisceration.The reduction of microbiological counts in beef carcasses when sprayed with water was 0.62(log10CFU/cm2),while spraying with 2% lactic acid reduced numbers of bacteria on brisket was 1.06(log10CFU/cm2).And spraying with 2% lactic acid during slaughter is an effective decontamination method for beef slaughtering.
