Abstract
This study investigates whether it is possible to use microwave technology to reduce the bacterial load of meat to such an extent that shelf-life is extended while the product retains the appearance of fresh meat. It investigates the use of microwaves in raising the surface temperature of vacuum-packed beef steak, recording the total aerobic and anaerobic bacterial count, the appearance of the meat and the amount of purging of meat juices within the package.
