Notes:
Vacuum-packaged ground fresh pork samples absorbed gamma radiation doses of 0. 0.57. 1.91. 3.76. 5.52. or 7.25 kGv at 2°C. Samolcs were analyzed after 1, 7, 14, 21, 28,‘or 35 days itorage at 2°C’for presence and number of aerobic and anaerobic mesophiles and endospore formers, and aerobic psychrotrophs. Conventional plate counts did not detect surviving microflora in any sample that received an absorbed dose of 1.91 kGy or higher, even after refrigerated storage for up to 35 days. The microflora in the control were predominantly Gram-positive for the first 21 days; however, Serratia predominated at 28 and 35 days. Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and yeast species predominated in samples that received 0.57 kGy.
