The TVC for sausage is acceptable when below 6 log CFU/g
(Department of Medical Sciences, 2010), and this limit was exceeded
on day 15 in the control samples, between days 20 and 25 with CS treatment,
and on day 25 with CS + CO treatment. The CS and CS + CO samples
had significantly (P b 0.05) lower TVC than the control samples, at
any observation time across the entire storage period.
