Abstract:
Nisin,lactic acid and sodium lactate were used to preserve chilled mutton packed by zip- lock bag on4 ± 1 ℃ conditions.The preservation effects were evaluated through sensory score,aerobic plate count,total volatile basic nitrogen( TVB- N) and p H value. The results showed that the best preservation combination was lactic acid concentration 0.15%,0.3% sodium lactate concentration and concentration of Nisin at 0.05%,the sample quality indictors under this treatment remain within the range of fresh meat after storaged for 20 d.
