Popis: Inactivation of Escherichia coli strain ATCC 25922 in frozen and unfrozen milk by high pressure processing at low or subzero temperatures was investigated. Frozen (−21 °C) and unfrozen (3 °C) milk samples were exposed to a pressure of 300 MPa for 0.5–15 min at varying temperatures between −5 °C and 5 °C. Reduction in the number of E. coli in unfrozen milk was enhanced by pressure treatment at subzero temperatures, whereas no survival was detected in frozen milk samples after a 10 min pressure treatment at −3 °C, corresponding to a minimum of 6.8 log cycle reduction in the number of E. coli. A substantial reduction of 3.8 log reduction in number of E. coli was observed after a 30 s pressure treatment at −3 °C. Results suggested that the mechanical forces could play a role in enhanced inactivation of E. coli in frozen milk samples.
