Effect of production process and high-pressure processing on viability of in traditional Italian dry-cured .

In this study the effect of the application of High Pressure Treatment (HPP) combined with four different manufacturing processes on the inactivation of Listeria innocua, used as a surrogate for L. monocytogenes, in artificially contaminated samples was evaluated in order to verify the most suitable strategy to meet the Listeria inactivation requirements needed for the exportation of dry-cured meat in the U.S.

Effect of production process and high-pressure processing on viability of in traditional Italian dry-cured .

The aim of the study was to investigate the combined effect of the manufacturing process followed by HPP treatment on the inactivation of spp. in artificially contaminated samples, in order to verify the ability of the combined processes to achieve the objective of a 5-log reduction of spp. needed for exportation to the U.
