摘要
A rapid (<15 min), inexpensive and simple method has been developed to estimate the concentration of bacteria on surfaces of beef carcasses using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence. Surfaces (5 x 5 cm(2)) of beef carcasses (n = 159) were collected by excision. An ATP assay and aerobic plate count were performed on each sample. A significant (p < 0.001) positive linear relationship (r = 0.83) between plate count and ATP assay was obtained for 159 beef carcass samples. When thresholds levels were set at 1 x 10(4), 1 x 10(5) and 1 x 10(6) CFU/cm(2), there was moderate to good agreement between the ATP bioluminescence assay and the aerobic plate count as determined by the kappa-statistic. The application of this ATP bioluminescence test to HACCP systems for beef slaughter processes is discussed.
