Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three freeze thaw cycles and refrigeration temperature thawing on microbial quality of chevon. The muscle comprising of Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus and Bicep femoris from chevon carcass were collected from local retailer of Nagpur city in insulated ice box. For freeze thaw cycle study, samples were distributed, weighed, packaged, labeled and transferred to deep freeze (-18 ±2˚C). The frozen chevon samples were thawed at every 5th day by refrigeration method of thawing at (4±1˚C) temperature.The exposed freeze thaw cycles chevon evaluated for microbial quality like Total Plate Count, Psychrophilic Count and E coli count. Freeze thawed chevon was prone to microbial growth as evident from significant increase in total plate count (TPC). However, coliform count decreased after 3rd freeze thaw cycle while psychrophilic count increased significantly. Thus, it could be concluded that chevon exposed to freeze thaw cycle could be acceptable up to 3rd freeze thaw cycle.
