Different aminopeptidase and endopeptidase substrates were assessed for the detection of enzymatic activity of microorganisms collected from the surface of aerobically cold-stored pork and beef. The most sensitive substrates were fluorogenic Ala-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Ala-AMC) or Leu-AMC and colorogenic Ala-p-nitroanilide (Ala-pNA). Activity on natural oligopeptides, e.g., bradykinin or αs1 casein fragment 1 to 23, was very low. The correlation coefficient (r) between log surface counts of 66 meat samples and log fluorescence or absorbance after incubation of surface microbial cells for 2 h with Ala-AMC, Leu-AMC, and Ala-pNA was 0.89, 0.83, and 0.82, respectively. A distinct yellow color was obtained with Ala-pNA when the surface count was ∼106 CFU/cm2. Although correlation and sensitivity was better, no clear advantage is obtained with the use of the fluorogenic Ala-AMC or Leu-AMC instead of Ala-pNA, a substrate proposed by Alvarado et al. (J. Food Sci. 57:1330, 1992) for rapidly assessing the microbial quality of refrigerated meat. The correlation coefficient (r) between time of cold storage and surface count was 0.69.

This study was undertaken to evaluate various indicators for the prediction of the microbial quality of pork and beef loins during cold storage at 0 and 4°C under aerobic conditions. Fresh loins of beef and pork were packaged aerobically and stored at 0 ± 1°C for 22 days and at 4 ± 1°C for 12 days or until the total plate counts (TPCs) for these loins exceeded 108 CFU/ml. During storage, samples were taken periodically for the measurement of TPCs, psychrotrophic bacterial counts, amine contents, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values, thiobarbituric acid values, d-glucose contents, l-lactate contents, pH, and electrical conductivity. Correlation coefficients were ca. 0.90 for all indicators except pH and conductivity. However, VBN and d-glucose contents showed the best correlation with bacterial counts at both temperatures for both beef and pork. Therefore, VBN and d-glucose could potentially be used as indicators in predicting the microbial quality of beef and pork during chilled storage under aerobic conditions.

In order to evaluate the microbial quality of human wastes and effluents from treatment processes, the microbial flora of samples was examined. Total coliforms, fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci were used as indicator micro-organisms, and Vibrio cholerae non O-1, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus and Welchii (Clostridium perfrigens) were selected as pathogenic organisms. Salmonella was detected in only the water samples from the night soil treatment plant, while Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the night soil and the samples from the night soil purification tanks. Vibrio cholerae non 0-1 was not detected in any samples, but Welchii existed in almost all samples. Generally, the density levels and distribution patterns of the indicator micro-organisms were similar to those in the raw wastewaters. The microbial flora was not changed remarkably after the primary sedimentation process and the biological treatment process. After the chlorination process, total colonies, spore-forming bacteria, Welchii, moulds and fecal streptococci could survive, and spore-forming bacteria formed the majority of the total colonies in the well-chlorinated effluents. Welchii at the level of 103/100 ml can be used as the indicator micro-organism to ensure a sanitary safe discharge, because it can survive at the level of 103−104/100 ml even if other indicators and pathogenic micro-organisms are inactivated completely by the chlorination process.
