[Testing for the presence of moulds and yeasts, and their significance, in deep frozen food of animal origin (author's transl)].
Forty-five samples of frozen beef, horsemeat, and pig-livers imported into Belgium were examined for the presence of fungal and yeast flora by means of the agar plate print method. Mainly Penicillium spp. was isolated from meat, whereas Fusarium spp. predominated in livers. From all samples a lot of yeast colonies were isolated; 14 yeasts were identified, of which 5 with their species. The importance of these fungi for the consumer is discussed.
