Spoilage association of chicken leg muscle.

T A McMeekin
PMCID: PMC170864  PMID: 879780

Abstract

The ability of pure cultures of bacteria isolated from spoiling chicken leg muscle to produce strong off-odors was tested by using sterile leg muscle sections. Changes in the flora during storage and the incidence and identity of organisms capable of producing strong off-odors were noted.
