This study was conducted to investigate the influence of inoculum size and potassium sorbate on kinetic
growth of Staphylococcus aureus in cooked ready-to-eat ground fish (CGF) prevalent retail storage
temperatures. Two treatment levels (with or without 0.2% potassium sorbate) and three inoculum sizes
(3.0, 4.5, or 5.5 log CFU/g) were evaluated. CGF samples were inoculated and subsequently stored at 10,
15, 20, 25, 30, and 37
C.
