Quantitative Evaluation of Clostridium botulinum Nonproteolytic Types B, E, and F Growth Risk in Fresh Salmon Tissue Homogenates Stored under Modified Atmospheres

Abstract

The potential risk of C. botulinum growth in fresh fish stored under modified atmospheres (MA) remains unclear, as few qualitative studies have identified certain conditions leading to toxigenesis. This is the second paper of a series attempting to quantify the effect of selected parameters on the probability (P) of toxigenesis by one spore in fish.
