The major factor determining shelf life is the rate of spoilage microorganism growth. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of organic substances (citric acid [CA], lactic acid [LA] and potassium sorbate [PS]) on chilled chicken skin microflora. Application of organic substances inhibited microbial growth and prolonged the shelf life of carcasses. Microbial reduction after application of organic acids was significant in case of 10% w/v CA and 2% v/v LA, and the most effective was combination of 2% v/v LA with 0.2% w/v PS. Sensory analysis found that application of 10% CA was not acceptable. However, chickens treated with the mixture showed better organoleptic properties than control. The use of food preservatives in combination may contribute to significant reductions of spoilage and pathogen microbes on poultry.
