Abstract:
An in-vitro model of the lactic acid decontamination (LAD) of meat is described. As LAD is a disinfection rather than a preservation process the model is based on the inactivation kinetics of bacteria in a suspension of pork skin. The model takes account of interfering factors present in nature, such as microbial interactions, leaching of organic material from the meat surfaces and buffering activity.
