“…Values similar to those found in this study were reported by Babic & Watada (1996) in a study on minimally processed spinach, in which the initial load of mesophilic microorganisms ranged between 10 7 -10 8 CFU/g. Roversi & Masson (2004) studied minimally processed lettuce packaged under modified atmosphere (5% O 2 , 10% CO 2 , and 85% N 2 ) and found the value of 1.55×10 8 CFU/g for the total count of bacteria on the tenth day of storage.…”

“…The levels of yeast in minimally processed spinach was considered low by Babic & Watada (1996); they remained between 10 3 -10 4 CFU/g during nine days of storage, both in the surrounding air and under controlled atmosphere at 5°C and 10°C. Berbari et al (2001) investigated the effect of chlorine on the wash water used to disinfect minimally processed lettuce and detected initial contamination of molds and yeasts with counts of 10 4 CFU/g.…”

“…According to Babic and Watada (1996), yeast and mold populations in the range of 10 3 -10 4 CFU·g -1 (3-4 log cycles) detected during storage is considered low. Considering this study, a 2 kGy radiation dose should ensure even lower microbial counts in fruits during the 12-day storage period; however, the average microbial content score at the end of the study in fruit radiated at 2 kGy was below 4 log cycles, while the control fruits radiated at 0.5 and 1 kGy showed mean scores of above 4 log cycles.…”

“…A população de aeróbios mesófilos em alface minimamente processada variou de 10 4 a 10 7 UFCg -1 durante estocagem a 4 o C por 12 dias [3]. BABIC & WATADA [2] observaram aumento nas populações de aeróbios mesófilos em folhas de espinafre minimamente processadas de valores iniciais de 10 7 a 10 8 UFCg -1 para até 10 10 UFCg -1 , durante estocagem em ar e atmosfera controlada, mantidas a 5 o C por 9 dias. Aumentos de cerca de 3log 10 UFCg -1 na população microbiana aeróbia mesófila e psicrotrófica do produto foram constatados nas embalagens mantidas em abuso de temperatura de 12 o C após 5 dias (dados não apresentados).…”
