Microbial analysis of MAP pot-stewed duck wings under different conditions during 15 °C storage.

This study was to investigate the changes of microbial community and counts of MAP pot-stewed duck wing (PSDW) under different packaging films and spices ratio during 15 °C storage, using the traditional bacterial cultivation and PCR-DGGE. Results of microbial counting showed that the shelf-life of PDSW during 15 °C storage for recommendation was within six days, and the packaging films and spices ratio didn't affect the change of microbial numbers in PSDW during storage. PCR-DGGE analysis revealed that Staphylococcus equorum, Weissella sp., Leuconostoc mesenteroides became the dominating bacteria of PSDW at the end of storage, and high barrier cover film, general barrier base film and spice ratio 1:1, had a better inhibition effect on bacteria in PSDW products, which could be used as the condition for PSDW storage. This study will help PSDW processing enterprises visualize the biodiversity of PSDW during storage, and choose the best condition for the subsequent processing.
