The inoculation level of LAB (lot 2, 3 and 4) was at T0 between
4.82 and 5.01 log CFU/g. These level rapidly increased, regardless of
the presence of 70% O2 in the MAP, reaching after 6 days loads
between 6.16 and 7.65 Log CFU/g and after 9 and 12 days respectively
loads between 7.68 and 8.88 Log CFU/g and loads between
8.05 and 8.90 Log CFU/g, respectively.
