In this study, the effect of frozen storage of turkey meat on the processing properties into raw sausages was investigated. For this purpose, meat from the Musculus pectoralis of male turkeys was frozen in 3 independent runs for 12 and 24 wk at -18°C and -80°C. After thawing, the meat was examined physicochemically and microbiologically and processed into raw sausages. The sausages were examined on d 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 of storage. The parameters L*, a*, b*, pH-value and a-value did not show any relevant significances between the experimental groups. The analysis of TBARS of the sausages made from frozen meat showed significantly higher values on d 14 and 28 compared to the unfrozen control group. Frozen storage also reduced the growth of Pseudomonas spp. and Enterobacteriaceae.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the presence of tigecycline resistant Enterobacterales (TRE) in the gut of healthy birds and in meat samples, revealing a significant prevalence in poultry.
  • Out of 960 samples, 19.21% from chicken farms and 13.3% from turkey farms tested positive for TRE, with specific strains of E. coli identified carrying the tet(X4) gene, indicating multi-drug resistance.
  • Findings suggest that food-producing animals could be a source of TRE for humans, highlighting the need for active surveillance to mitigate public health risks related to these resistant bacteria.
