Hygienic properties exhibited by single-use wood and plastic packaging on the microbial stability for fish
2019, LWTCitation Excerpt :HDPE presented the lowest microbial load, followed by EPS, then pine and last poplar wood. As it has been indicated for wooden materials, microbial load residing in the material can vary (Dutkiewicz, Sorenson, Lewis, & Olenchock, 1992) depending on how long the wood is stored after felling the tree, its state of decomposition and its moisture content (Beyer et al., 2002). In general, surface contamination levels were not high, with microbial loads under 4 Log CFU cm−2 for both aerobic and psychrotrophic microorganisms.
