However, other microbial groups may have contributed to spoilage, despite not necessarily having caused unpleasant
changes directly by their proliferation ormetabolism. In fact, it is more likely that interactions occur amongmicrobial species from different groups that result in generation of spoilage-associatedmolecules. In addition, further interactions may take place among the produced molecules, thus leading to a quite unpredictable and complicated profile in terms of sensory quality aspects of rawmeat
