Evaluation of Microbiological Safety of Shrimp Cooked in a Microwave Oven.

The effect of different microwave power levels (240, 400, 560, and 800 W) on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in inoculated shrimp was investigated. Thermal inactivation rates (D-values) of L. monocytogenes were determined using constant temperature water baths to establish the heat resistance of L.
