The present work has an objective to observe and to characterize, through microbiological analyses and pH determination, the influence of the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and the lactic acid addictive in shelf life of fresh poultry sausage. Two sausage batches were made under laboratory control. One of them was added of lactic acid (0.15%). The samples were processed, and packaged in plastic bags (four sausages per bag). Finally, the bags were filled with different atmospheres: 100% air, 100% N2, 100% CO2, 80/20 CO2/N2, 40/60 CO2/N2 and 20/80 CO2/N2. Samples were stored in walk?in cold rooms at 4±2°C. Samples were taken at different days of storage (zero, 1, 9 and 16). Both added and not added with lactic acid samples were subjected to total viable aerobic counts (mesophylic and psycrophylic), lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas sp. in specific media plates. Also, it was determinate the pH of all the samples. The results were arranged in tables and graphs for the descriptive statistical analyses. The MAP 80/20 CO2/N2 was the more effective method to conserve fresh poultry sausages, reaching at the end of the experiment values of 6.0; 5,3 and 5.0 Log UFC/g (mesophylic, psycrophylic and acid-lactic bacteria, respectively), comparing to the conventional package (100% air) and 100% N2 that reached at the end of the experiment maximum values of 8.8 and 9.4 Log UFC/g, respectively. The addition of the acid lactic was effective about the aspect of microbiological inhibition, reaching inferior values in almost all the atmospheres comparing to the samples without addition of the acid, except to 80/20 CO2/N2, that the values of the microbial count in both treatments (with and without acid) they were very close. During the experiment, it was not observed the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas. Analyzing the pH, it can be observed that the addition of 0.15% lactic acid caused a fall of the pH of 5.89 for ~5.50, enough to inhibit the microbial multiplication in the different atmospheres, except in 80/20 CO2/N2. After analyzed this results, it was concluded that MAP to 80/20% of CO2/N2 was the more effective method to increase the shelf life of the fresh poultry sausage, added or not added with lactic acid; the addition of 0.15% of lactic acid was an effective alternative for conservation of fresh poultry sausage chicken, wrapped or not in modified atmosphere.
