The microbiological characteristics of soya
buds, as product of IV range (partially
processed), were studied. The amount of
total microbial count was low and did not
exceed the value of the limits of French
Law (Dgccrf). No Salmonella spp., Listeria
monocytogenes and E. coli were isolated
in all the investigated samples. The shelflife
of these products was within 9 days
at 4°C, then the product appears yellow
or brown, due to some oxidative reaction.
So, according to the obtained data the soya
buds here investigated have a good microbiological
quality and do not represent a
problem for human health.
