Microbial growth on meat products, as well as other foods, is affected, not only by the type and level of initial contamination but also by various factors associated with the product (intrinsic) or its environment (extrinsic). Approaches getting to inhibit microbial growth are mostly supported manipulation or changes in these factors. These include storage at low temperatures, drying (evaporation) or reduction by binding of water levels (salting and sugaring) available for microbial growth (water activity), addition of acids (low pH), fermentation (low pH and production of antimicrobials), packaging under modified atmospheres like vacuum, and use of chemical antimicrobials. Combinations of antimicrobial technologies, applied individually at sublethal levels (hurdle technology), are frequently used in many meat products as they result in microbiologically stable and safe products of desirable eating quality. It is important to properly select and apply sublethal hurdle combinations with the objective of pathogen control without stress adaptation or selection of resistant pathogens.Microbial growth will lead to reductions in the pH of the formulation. With nonsterile products, this might affect the color of dyes and could cause acid cracking of some emulsions. With specific product types, excipients such as surfactants can often provide sources of carbon and nitrogen for bacterial growth. If such materials are degraded then they can no longer stabilize the product. Phase separation of oil and water will occur. The texture of creams will be adversely affected by the growth of microorganisms, particularly fungi. The production of gases like sulfide and methane from fermentative metabolism can affect the smell of the merchandise and also cause the creation of gas pockets.
