The aim of this study was to investigate changes in Salmonella and total viable count (TVC) survival on beef carcass surfaces stored for 72 h under different combinations of relative humidity (i.e. RH 75% or 96%) and temperature (5 degrees C or 10 degrees C). The influence of low water activity (a(w)) and temperature on the survival and growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 and the aerobic mesophilic flora on meat pieces from different sites on beef carcasses was investigated, under controlled conditions (75% or 96% RH; 5 or 10 degrees C) in an environmental cabinet. Salmonella counts declined during storage at low a(w) (75% RH) conditions at 5 degrees C or 10 degrees C. Salmonella counts increased during storage at high a(w) (96% RH) at 10 degrees C only. At 5 degrees C, TVCs increased during storage at high a(w), but not at low a(w). TVCs increased on all samples from carcasses stored at high or low a(w) at 10 degrees C, except those samples taken from areas of surface fat. This suggests that substrate composition dictates growth rates under low a(w) conditions. The results are discussed in terms of the possible protective effects of substrate osmolyte accumulation in bacterial survival and/or growth. The data obtained in this study provides useful insights on the influence of a(w) and temperature on pathogen survival on meat surfaces at chill temperature.
