Chilled Storage of Pressurized Octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ) Muscle
Journal of Food Science, 2001 ABSTRACT: Samples were subjected to continuous and step‐pulsed pressurization, in both cases at 7 and 40 °C. There was a reduction of microbial flora (total viable count and lactic bacteria) after pressurization and during storage at 2.5 to 3.0 °C, chiefly in the lot pressurized by step‐pulse at 400 MPa, 40 °C ...
