Figure 3.

Growth of L. monocytogenes in CS salmon produced with 3% NaCl (control), a sodium-reduced reference salt (2.4% NaCl + 0.6% KCl) and with addition of the preservative salt Provian K. The Provian K salt was added at levels of 0.5% and 0.9% in the salting process. The CS salmon was inoculated with L. monocytogenes at Day 0 and stored under vacuum at 4 °C and 8 °C for 29 days. Mean values of two experiments (four to eight measurements per data point) and standard error of the mean are displayed.
