The aim of this study was to investigate the infl uence of marination, on the growth of Salmonella spp. in contaminated broiler breast fi llets during storage. In the conducted study, broiler breast fi llets were inoculated with a cocktail of different Salmonella strains and afterwards marinated in different solutions of table salt, sodium tripolyphosphate and/or sodium citrate. The total count of Salmonella spp. was examined on the 0, 3 rd , 6 th and 9 th day of storage. Broiler breast fi llets salted in 6% solution of table salt were used as the control. Proximate composition and salt content, pH value and a w value, were determined as the meat quality parameters and parameters which can affect environmental conditions for bacterial growth, as well. Compared to initial contamination, Salmonella spp. count in marinated and salted fi llets did not change signifi cantly (p<0.001) until the 3 rd and 6 th day of storage, respectively, but it increased signifi cantly on the 9 th day of storage. Marination of broiler breast fi llets in different solutions of table salt, sodium tripolyphosphate and/or sodium citrate had a signifi cant infl uence(p<0.05; p<0.01) on pH and a w value, moisture, ash and salt content in marinated broiler meat, but there was no signifi cant infl uence (p>0.05) on protein and fat content in broiler meat. According to the results obtained it can be concluded that marination of broiler breast fi llets in solutions containing table salt, sodium trpolyphosphate and/or citrate, in some way, can prolongate the lag phase of Salmonella spp. growth, where sodium citrate is more effective than sodium tripolyphosphate.
