Answer 1

Answer:

Significance of microbial growth:

Microbial growth on meat products, as well as other foods, is affected, not only by the type and level of initial contamination but also by various factors associated with the product (intrinsic) or its environment (extrinsic). Approaches aiming to inhibit microbial growth are mostly based on manipulation or changes in these factors. These include storage at low temperatures, drying (evaporation) or reduction by binding of water levels (salting and sugaring) available for microbial growth (water activity), addition of acids (low pH), fermentation (low pH and production of antimicrobials), packaging under modified atmospheres such as vacuum, and use of chemical antimicrobials. Combinations of antimicrobial technologies, applied individually at sublethal levels (hurdle technology), are frequently used in many meat products as they result in microbiologically stable and safe products of desirable eating quality. It is important to properly select and apply sublethal hurdle combinations with the objective of pathogen control without stress adaptation or selection of resistant pathogens.
