Abstract
No significant differences were found in surface microflora of county-cured hams covered with stockinettes, barrier bags, or a coating of paraffin wax during aging, except for a reduction in mold growth on waxed hams. The incidence of Clostridium spp. was lost in all treatments. Micrococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. were the most common contaminants, but caused no apparent spoilage problem in any treatment.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
