Twenty five grams of each meat samplewas homogenized in 225 mL
of peptone saline (0.85% NaCl and 0.1% peptone in distilled water) for
30 s in a blender. After that, triplicate serial dilutions were prepared
and plated onto Plate Count Agar (PCA, Land Bridge Company, China)
plates. The plates were incubated for 48 h at 37 °C. The number of
microbes was expressed as log10 (counts). Three measurements were
performed on each of five samples at each time point
