showed that some of the processes used for decontamination may adversely affect the
appearance, color, flavor, and texture of the products, while some of the existing
technologies are not completely effective in removing all attached microorganisms from
poultry and meat tissues. In their study it was also stated that investigation of the effects of surface-active agents (surfactants) on bacterial attachment could provide information regarding more effective agents for removal
of attached organisms or for prevention of attachment, as well as chemical probes for studying biochemical mechanisms.
