Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the microbial quality of minced pork treated with fresh garlic, dried garlic, and garlic oil in combination with vacuum packing. The growth of Total Viable Counts (TVC), Coliform Bacteria (CB), and Pseudomonas spp. were evaluated. The microbiological analyses were performed by the plate dilution method. The average value of TVC was 8.45 log CFU.g-1 in aerobically packed samples, 5.59 log CFU.g-1 in samples treated with garlic oil, 5.36 log CFU.g-1 in vacuum packed samples, and samples treated with dried garlic, and 4.98 log CFU.g-1 in samples treated with fresh garlic on 8th day of storage. The number of TVC was significantly lower in samples treated with fresh garlic compared to samples treated with dried garlic and garlic oil on the 8th day of storage (p <0.05). The average value of CB was 4.13 log CFU.g-1 in aerobically packed samples, 1.82 log CFU.g-1 in samples treated with garlic oil, the value of CB in vacuum packed samples, in samples treated with fresh garlic and also with dried garlic was lower than 1.00 log CFU.g-1 on 8th day of storage. The number of CB was significantly higher in aerobically packed samples and samples treated with garlic oil compared to vacuum-packed samples, samples treated with fresh garlic and dried garlic on the 8th day of storage (p <0.05). The average number of Pseudomonas spp. was 2.45 in aerobically packed samples, count of Pseudomonas spp. was lower than 1.00 log CFU.g-1 in vacuum packed samples and in the sample with garlic on the 8th day of storage. The number of Pseudomonas spp. was significantly higher in aerobically packed samples in comparison with vacuum-packed samples, samples with fresh garlic, dried garlic, and garlic oil (p <0.05).
