total bacteria of fresh beef after aging were evaluated during storage at ﹣2.5 ℃
0 ℃ and 4 ℃
which would provide reference for accurate ice temperature storage of fresh beef. The results showed that the temperature of ice-temperature cold room was stable and accurate
and the storage period of the fresh beef at ﹣2.5 ℃
0 ℃ and 4 ℃ were 24 days
15 days and 8 days
respectively. After 24 days storage at ﹣2.5 ℃
pH value
TVB-N value and aerobic plate count of the beef were 5.59
15.39 mg/100 g and 2.2×106 CFU/g
respectively. The color of beef was still bright red without peculiar smell. Compared to 4 ℃ and 0 ℃,the ice temperature (﹣2.5 ℃) could maintain the color of beef effectively
decrease liquid loss rate
retard the increase of pH and TVB-N
and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In summary
fresh beef could maintain the good quality during 24 days storage at ice temperature (﹣2.5 ℃) .
