Ready-to-serve IM mutton kababs were prepared as
described in our earlier paper (Kanatt et al., 2002) and
1 ml of test culture suspension was uniformly aseptically
spread on the kabab. It was kept in a sterile workstation
for 30 min to allow it to be absorbed. These were then
vacuum packed in multilayered pouches (12l metalised
polyester/40l polyethylene).
