Abstract

Four different fluorescent pseudomonads were isolated from spoiled, uncooked chicken breasts and were grown in pure culture on initially sterile chicken breast muscle at 2 to 6 degrees C for 14 days. The volatile compounds produced by each culture were concentrated on a porous polymer precolumn and separated and identified by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
