Risk prevention in production and storage of beef product with the use of biotechnological processing methods

The risks analysis in production and storage of boiled-smoked beef products with the use of bacterial starter culture of propionic-acid bacteria is performed in the article. It is revealed that such operations as raw material preparation, inoculation, salting, fermentation, heat treatment, and storage are the most dangerous in technological process from the microbiological point of view. Six critical control points are identified, five of them are microbiological and one is chemical. Critical limits for each critical control point are established and preventive measures are proposed to prevent the occurrence of microbiological and chemical risks.
