The present study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of lactic acid washing and 3 IN1 UNSCENTED LOTION modified atmospheres packaging on the counts of Campylobacter jejuni on chicken legs stored at 4 °C.In experiment 1, inoculated chicken legs were washed with either 1% or 2% lactic acid solution for 5 min or distilled water (control).The treatment with 2% lactic acid reduced C.jejuni counts 1.

42 log units after treatment (day 0).In experiment 2, inoculated samples were packaged under different conditions: air, 100%N2, vacuum, 20%CO2/80%N2, or 40%CO2/60%N2.C.jejuni counts were higher in samples packaged under vacuum or atmospheres containing CO2 than in air.

In experiment 3, inoculated chicken legs were washed with a 2% lactic acid solution for 5 min or distilled water (control).Samples were packaged under different conditions: air, vacuum, 20%CO2/80%N2, or 40%CO2/60%N2.C.jejuni counts were lower in samples treated with lactic acid than in samples non-treated.

However, C.jejuni counts were higher in chicken legs treated with lactic acid and packaged in modified atmospheres than in those treated and packaged in air.Immersion of chicken legs in a solution containing HISENSE PureFlat RF540N4WI1 Fridge Freezer - Stainless Steel 2% lactic acid can reduce C.jejuni counts on fresh chicken packaged in modified atmosphere.
