Abstract

To obtain more insight into the specific impact of Modified Atmosphere (MA) packaging on the composition of the epiphytic microflora of minimally processed vegetables, we determined the prevalent bacteria on cut chicory endive and mungbean sprouts before and after storage under constant MA conditions at 8°C. On both fresh and MA stored mung bean sprouts, Enterobacter cloacea, Pantoea agglomerans, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. Viridilivida and Ps. corrugata constituted the main species. By contrast, we observed a shift from Rahnella aquatilis and several Pseudomonas species towards Escherichia vulneris and Ps. fluorescens on chicory endive before and after MA storage.
