Microbiological quality of pork meat from local Hong Kong markets.

Abstract:

:Over a 3-week period, samples of fresh, chopped, pork meat were taken every morning and afternoon from 50 meat stalls. Microbiological examination revealed that the samples had (c.f.u./g): total microbes, 1×10(3) to 2.14×10(6); mean probable numbers of coliforms and Escherichia coli, 1.51×10(3) to 1.15×10(4); and yeasts and moulds, 0 to 1.28×10(4). Salmonella, found in 32 samples from 21 stalls, were serotyped as B (three samples), C1 (four) or E (25). No Campylobacter were found. Because microbial growth and/or contamination of the meat occurred during the day, samples taken in the afternoon had greater total counts (P<0.05) and contained detectable numbers of Salmonella more frequently (42% versus 22%) than those taken in the morning.

  • Improvement of methanogenesis from cow dung and poultry litter waste digesters by addition of iron.

    abstract::When 50MM FeSO4 was added to cow dung and poultry litter waste which had been processed in daily-fed batch digesters, digesters subsequently unfed showed a faster conversion of substrate and overloaded digesters stabilized within 48 h. Early stabilization of digesters was achieved by adding 20 or 50MM FeSO4 though the...
