초록

To examine the effect of vacuum packaging on the quality of chicken during storage, microbial (total bacterial counts, mold and yeast, E. coli, and Pseudomonas) changes and drip loss were determined. fresh chicken breasts were prepared and packaged using polyethylene film under vacuum and normal atmosphere, respectively. Samples were then stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for two weeks. At various time intervals during storage, sample was taken homogenized, and diluted with 0.1% sterile peptone water, and followed by microbial counts. Microbial changes of total bacterial counts, mold and yeast, E. coli, and Pseudomonas during storage of chicken were significantly decreased by vacuum packaging. Drip loss was also significantly decreased. These results indicate that vacuum packaging of chicken should be recommended as a suitable storage method in terms of microbial safety as well as quality of chicken.
