Spoilage Association of Chicken Breast Muscle

PMCID: PMC186908  PMID: 1167387

Abstract

The ability of pure cultures of bacteria isolated from spoiling chicken breast muscle to produce strong off-odors was tested by using sterile breast muscle sections. The incidence of organisms capable of producing strong off-odors and changes in flora during storage of naturally spoiling muscle at 2 C was traced, and the relationship between bacterial type and off-odor production was noted.
