Abstract

The dynamic change and growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis(SE) in fresh-cut apple,cabbage and lettuce at 4,10,15,30℃ was investigated in 7 days,and the accuracy of GP(Growth Predictor) in ComBase was also evaluated.The results showed that SE could not grow but still survived at 4℃.And less time was needed to reach the maximum cell count at higher temperature.The observed values of SE growing to the maximum cell count could not fit into the predicted values.The growth rates of SE predicted by GP were lower than the actual growth rates in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables at 10℃,and this model was thus unreliable in microbial risk assessment.
