3.3. Bacteriological analysis and pH
The restructured product obtained using optimal conditions for
setting were manufactured and Table 7 shows the results of
bacteriological analyses (log ufc/g) and pH measures at several
times (0, 5 or 12 days) of fridge storage (4 C). Results are expressed
as mean values for each time. Microbial load increased gradually
throughout the storage period from day 0, except in the case of
proteolytic bacteria, which began growing from day 5. The statistical
analysis showed significant differences with the time for all
variables except for the pH values.
